pack.
• Pay close attention to the safety notes in the instructions for your operating sys-
tem.
• Not for children under the age of 15.

be kept in a safe place as well as included with the product, if the latter is given to
someone else.

Functions

• This model is designed for operation on LGB two-rail DC systems with conventio-
nal LGB DC train controllers or power packs (DC, 0 - 24 volts).
• Factory-installed multiple protocol decoder (DC, DCC, mfx).
• The model is programmed with locomotive address 03 for use with the LGB Multi
Train System (DCC). The locomotive is automatically recognized in operation with
mfx.
• Volume can be changed for the sound effects
• The operating sounds are on in analog operation.
• The functions can be activated only in parallel. Serial activation of the functions is
not possible (Please note here the instructions for your controller).
• When possible, use the larger "R3" and "R5" curves in order to increase the
operating reliability and allow prototypical operation.
• The engineer's cab will swing out quite a bit when the locomotive is negotiating
curves. For that reason check the clearance gauge of your layout before you run
this model.
• A straight section of track should always be installed before bridges, station plat-
forms, or tunnels so that the locomotive can straighten itself before passing these
obstacles.
Mode of Operation Switch
This locomotive has a 4-position mode of operation switch (Figure 1 & 2).
Pos. 0 Locomotive stored on a siding without current
Pos. 1 Locomotive motor, lighting, and sound turned on
Pos. 2 Same as Position 1
Pos. 3 Same as Position 1
Multi-Purpose Socket
This model has a general-purpose socket on the back wall for flat plugs. If you are
equipping a car with interior lighting or with a sound effects module, you can connect
it to the socket and power that circuit with track voltage.
Sound
This locomotive has a volume controller. The volume controller is located next to the
mode of operation switch (Figure 1).
The whistle can be activated with the LGB sound activation magnet (17050) included
with the model. The activation magnet can be clipped into place between the ties of
most LGB track sections.
The magnet is positioned to the side under the LGB logo cast into the plastic cover.
Place the magnet on one side in order to activate a long whistle sound when the lo-
comotive crosses over this spot. The whistle will be short when the magnet is placed
on the other side.
