Mikado Steam Loco, Sound
THE PROTOTYPE
The 2-8-2 "Mikados" were among
the most successful steam loco-
motives of all time. The first
Mikados were built in 1897 at the
Baldwin Locomotive Works for the
narrow gauge railways of Japan.
During World War I, the United
States Railroad Administration
adopted the Mikado as its stan-
dard freight locomotive, and more
than a thousand "Mikes" were
delivered to more than a dozen
American railways. Later, thou-
sands more were supplied to rail-
ways around the world. Many
Mikados survived until the end of
the steam era in the 1950s, a
clear indication for a successful
design.

OPERATION
Preparation
Couple the loco to the tender: Lift
the hook at the rear of the loco
over the loop on the front of the
tender. Connect the wiring cable
(Fig. 9).
Attention! The cable can be
damaged by rough handling.
When disconnecting the tender,
do not pull on the cable. Pull on
the plug only.
Operating Modes
This model has a four-way power
control switch mounted inside the
cab (Fig. 1, 2):
Position 0: All power off
Position 1: Power to lights and
smoke generator
Position 2: Power to lights, smoke
generator and motor
Position 3: Power to lights, smoke
generator, motor and
sound (factory pre-set)
Hint: Reaching the power control
switch is easier when the loco is
parked on a curved track.
Lighting
This model features directional
lighting. The model has a "flat"
multi-purpose socket, with a
removable cover, on the rear of
the tender (Fig. 3). This socket
can be used to provide track
power to LGB cars with lighting or
sound electronics.
To remove the cover of the
socket, pull it straight out. If the
cover is tight, gently use a small
straight screwdriver to pry it out.
(Do not pull out the rectangular
outer housing.)
