Function
This model offers the following features and
characteristics:
G The model comes fitted with RP-25 wheel sets
for operation on code 75 track. This means that
operation is not possible on almost all track
systems used in Europe. RP-25 is a standard
of the American "National Model Railroad Asso-
ciation" (NMRA).

(max. ± 14 volts DC), with Trix-Selectrix or an
NMRA/DCC multi-train control system.
G The headlights at the cab ends of the locomotives
change over with the direction of travel and, along
with the number boards, vary in brightness with
the amount of voltage present in the track.
In addition, the Mars lights blink. This lighting
can all be turned on and off in operation with
Trix-Selectrix or DCC.
G The mode of operation is automatically recognized.

pickups and clean track.
Each locomotive has a motor built into it that is

controlled in tandem from the locomotive decoder
in locomotive no. 1.
Note: When in direct current operation, never switch
too quickly from forward to reverse travel (and vice
versa). Always first move the control knob to the
0 position for a brief moment, then set the speed
for the opposite direction.
