Safety Notes

• This model may only be used with the operating system designed for it.
• Use only switched mode power supply units and transformers that are designed
for your local power system.
• This locomotive must never be supplied with power from more than one power
pack.
• Pay close attention to the safety notes in the instructions for your operating sys-
tem.
• Not for children under the age of 15.
• WARNING! Sharp edges and points required for operation.
• The LEDs in this item correspond to Laser Class 1 according to Standard EN 60825-1.

Important Notes

• The operating instructions are a component part of the product and must therefore
be kept in a safe place as well as included with the product, if the latter is given to
someone else.
• The warranty card included with this product specifies the warranty conditions.
• Please see your authorized LGB dealer for repairs or spare parts.
• Disposing: www.maerklin.com/en/imprint.html

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.
Preparation
Plug the brakeman's grab irons (Figure 5) in front and next to the lanterns.
Mode of Operation Switch
This model has a four-position switch for the mode of operation. It is located in the
engineer's cab (Figure 1 & 2).
Pos. 0 Locomotive stored on a siding without current
Pos. 1 Locomotive motor, smoke unit, lighting, and sound turned on
Pos. 2 Same as Position 1
Pos. 3 Same as Position 1
Smoke Unit
This model is equipped with a smoke unit. Fill the smoke stack only halfway with
smoke fluid. If you put in too much fluid, the smoke unit cannot produce smoke.
Important! Use only LGB smoke and cleaning fluid (item no. 50010). Other fluids can
damage your locomotive.
Important! Do not touch the heating element in the middle of the smoke unit. It is hot
and can break.
Note: The smoke unit can be operated "dry" without smoke fluid. When the tank is
empty, the heating and the fan will turn off after about 2 minutes.
Multi-Purpose Socket
This model has a general-purpose socket on the back wall for flat plugs (Figure 3). 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
The bell and whistle can be activated with the LGB sound activation magnet (item no.
17050) that is included with the locomotive. The activation magnet can be clipped into
place between the ties of most LGB track sections. The magnet is located on the side
under the cast-in LGB logo. Place the magnet on the right side in order to activate the
whistle when the locomotive passes over this location. The bell will sound when the
magnet is placed on the left side.

Multi-Protocol Operation

Analog Operation
This decoder can also be operated on analog layouts or areas of track that are
analog. The decoder recognizes alternating current (DC) and automatically adapts
to the analog track voltage. All functions that were set under mfx or DCC for analog
operation are active (see Digital Operation).
