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.
Multi-Purpose Socket
This model has a general-purpose socket on the back wall of tender 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. 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).
Multi-Train System
TThe model is equipped with a digital interface to connect a 3 amp DCC decoder.
Remove the plug on the decoder interface and connect the decoder.
We recommend to use MTS Decoder 55027, the plug of which directly fits into the
socket interface. 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 ist obso-
lete.
