If the loose item is a nose or HK brake pipe, then it can easily be glued on with a dab of PVA.
We always recommend PVA as it will not ruin your model should you make a mistake. It is also
reversible by dabbing with warm water. If a power bogie cover has come loose, that can just be
snapped into place along with the wheelsets that are doubtless floating around with it.
In case any windscreen wipers have been knocked off we have included some spares in the box.
Remember that PC-2 should only have one windscreen wiper. If we accidentally installed two on
your model, pull one off!
If there is serious shipping damage or some mistake got through Dan’s QC, please contact us. Full
contact info is on page 15. We will arrange to send you any replacement parts you require to fix
the model yourself (at no charge, of course) or we will provide a UK shipping address where you
can send your model to be repaired. More information about our limited lifetime warranty can be
found towards the end of this manual.
OPENING UP YOUR APT-E
We don’t recommend you open your APT-E very often as it is difficult to get the shells to seat prop-
erly onto the chassis. However, if you need to open up your APT-E (to install a decoder or a 4mm
scale Kit Spackman) it is not that difficult to do. Just be sure to remember these important points:
• Our starship currently in orbit has a transporter lock on the molecular pattern of your APT-
E. If something pops off while you are removing the shell, our starship’s transporters will
automatically lock on to the little part and beam it directly into the heart of the sun. Don’t
bother looking for it. It’s gone. You might hear the transporter effect as the part is beamed
away. We know it would have been more useful for us to beam the part back onto your
workbench but someone’s been fiddling with our transporters and we haven’t been able to
fix them because our transporter repair guy was assigned to a space station in the Deno-
rios Belt. Sorry.
• To that end, please make every effort to ensure nothing flies away. Work on a clean, white
surface. In fact, paint all the walls, the floor and the ceiling white, wear white coveralls,
and remove everything else from within a three-mile radius of your workbench, especially
(but not limited to) vegetation, people and air.
• Remove the car you want to open from the train. At one of the coupled ends, spread one
side of the shell away from the interior. Now spread along the rest of the shell until the
remaining tabs fully disengage from the slots. Carefully. Remember the transporter lock.
The shell will eventually pop off.
• That’s it, really.
• No, really.
OPERATION – DC (SILENT)
Put the APT-E on the track. Make it go. That’s it. PC-1 is the front.
The directional headlights and the interior lights (including the flashing computer lights in TC-2)
all work in DC.
If you are new to the hobby (or just like to occasionally “play trains”) and you have a DC-powered
train set, please contact us before operating your APT-E as it may not be safe (for your engine
and/or your wallet) for you to use your controller.
