Smoke Generator
This model is equipped with a
smoke generator. A small supply
of LGB Smoke and Cleaning
Fluid is included with this model.
For best operation, fill the genera-
tor halfway with fluid. If the gene-
rator is overfilled, it will not
convert the fluid into smoke.
Attention! Only use LGB Smoke
and Cleaning Fluid (50010).
Other fluids may damage your
locomotive.
Attention! Never
heating element in the center of
the smoke generator. It is hot and
fragile.
Hint: The smoke generator can
be run "dry" without smoke fluid.
Sound
This model features a digital elec-
tronic sound system. The volume
control is located inside the
smoke box (Fig. 5). Pull out the
front of the boiler (Fig. 4) to
access the volume control.
Most of the sound features
described below also can be con-
trolled directly with the LGB Multi-
Train System (see Multi-Train
System).
Bell and whistle: The whistle
sounds automatically when the
locomotive is started (2 long
blasts when moving forward,
3 short blasts when reversing).
The bell and whistle also can be
triggered using the LGB Sound
Trigger Magnet (17050) included
with this model. The 17050 snaps
between the ties of most LGB
track sections.
The magnet in the 17050 is under
the LGB logo. If the contact is
installed with the logo on one side
of the track, it will trigger the
whistle as the model passes. If
the contact is reversed, it will trig-
ger the bell.
Brake: To trigger the "squealing"
brake sound, reduce the model's
speed slowly. This requires a skil-
led hand and a little practice.
Standing sounds: After the
model stops, the air pump sounds
several times. After a short pause,
the safety valve releases steam.
Then you hear the feedwater

touch the
pump filling the boiler. If a low
voltage (approx. 6.5 volts) is
maintained, the standing sounds
will continue to sound at regular
intervals while the locomotive is
standing. (With the Multi-Train
System, you hear the standing
sounds only once.)
Hint: This model is equipped with
a starting delay circuit. This ena-
bles the model to produce stan-
ding sounds while it is stopped.
Attention! Do not connect this
model to other locomotives with
different starting characteristics.
This can damage the internal
gearing.
Hint: If this model is not used for
a long time, its capacitors will
discharge, and the sound system
will operate erratically. To rechar-
ge the capacitors, operate the
model at brisk speed for about
30 seconds.
Power Supply
Attention! For safety and reliabi-
lity, operate this model with LGB
power supplies (transformers,
power packs and controls) only.
The use of non-LGB power sup-
plies will void your warranty.
Use this model with LGB power
supplies with an output of more
than 1 amp. For more information
on LGB power supplies for indoor,
outdoor and multi-train operation,
see the LGB catalog.
Multi-Train System
This model has a direct decoder
interface. For Multi-Train System
operation, it can be equipped with
one LGB MTS Decoder (55020).
The MTS Decoder Interface
Cable (55026) is not required.
We strongly recommend decoder
installation by an LGB service
station. For more information,
contact your authorized LGB
retailer or an LGB service station
(see Authorized Service).
If this model is decoder-equipped,
you can control its sounds with
the Multi-Train System. With a
Loco Remote or Universal Remo-
te, press the numbered loco func-
tion buttons. With an MTS Train
Mouse, press the loco function
