ference with radio and television reception, when the

General Note to Avoid Electromagnetic Interference: A
permanent, flawless wheel-rail contact is required in order
to guarantee operation for which a model is designed. Do
not make any changes to current-conducting parts.

Functions

• Built-in electronic circuit for optional operation with
a conventional DC train controller (max. ±14 volts),
Trix Systems and Selectrix (SX),
or digital systems adhering to the NMRA standards.
• Automatic system recognition between digital and analog
operation.
• No automatic system recognition between the digital
systems.
• Triple headlights in the front, dual red marker lights in the
rear, that change over with the direction of travel.
• NEM close coupler mechanism and coupler pocket.

Notes on digital operation

• When operating in a digital system for the first time (SX or
DCC), the decoder must be set to this digital system. To do
this, the decoder must be programmed once in this digital
system (example: change the address).
• The setting done at the factory does not permit operation
with opposite polarity DC power in the braking block.
If you want this characteristic, you must do without
conventional DC power operation (DCC: CV 29 / Bit 2 = 0).
