Mode of Operation Switch
This model has a four-position mode of operation switch on its floor. The mode of
operation switch offers the following functions (Fig. 1&2):
Pos. 0
Locomotive stopped and stored without current
Pos. 1
Lighting turned on
Pos. 2
Locomotive motors and lighting turned on
Pos. 3

Multi-Train System
The model is equipped with a digital interface to connect the DCC decoder 55028. We
recommend to have the decoder mounted by the LGB factory service station.
When a decoder is integrated in the locomotive, the power control switch is obsolete.
Lighting
The lighting for this model changes with the direction of travel. The interior lighting is
always on. The headlight (Function) and the interior lighting (F1) can be turned on and
off with the 55028 decoder when the latter has been installed.
The lighting needs a track voltage of at least 5 volts. At a lower voltage, the model
runs without the lighting on.
Entry Doors

open. Fold the entry step back up to close the doors.
