Manual Volume Control
To adjust the volume of all sounds made
by this engine, turn the master volume
control knob located under the tender
clockwise to increase the volume and
counter-clockwise to decrease the volume.
Horn/Whistle - To sound the
whistle, firmly press the
Horn/Whistle button. The whistle
will sound for as long as you
continue to depress the button. It
will stop when you release the
button.
Bell - To sound the bell, firmly
press and release the Bell
button. To turn the bell off,
press and release the Bell button
again. The bell will continue to
ring from the time you turn it on
until you press and release the
button again to turn it off.
Direction Your train is
programmed to start in neutral.
The train will always cycle
neutral-forward-neutral-reverse
with each press and release of the
direction button. The engine is
programmed to restart in neutral
each time the track voltage is
turned off for 25 seconds or more.
Emergency Stop Press the
Emergency Stop button and all
trains on the track controlled by
the remote will stop until you
reapply voltage. This is an easy
way to shut down your trains at
the end of a session or to stop
suddenly the train's path
becomes obstructed.
Operation Buttons
Throttle Up Throttle up the power to your track by pressing the top end of the Throttle
Control Rocker Switch firmly for about 5 seconds, until the engine's headlight and
lighted cars burn bright. Then put the engine into motion by firmly pressing the
Direction button (hold it for approximately 1 second) on your remote once. If the engine
does not begin to move as soon as you firmly press the Direction button, you may not
have sent enough voltage to the track to make the train move. Press the throttle up for a
few more seconds until the train begins to move. To increase or decrease track voltage,
and therefore train speed, press the throttle control rocker switch. Pressing the top end of
the throttle will increase voltage and speed. Pressing the bottom end of the throttle will
decrease voltage and speed. The engine will maintain the speed you set after you release
the throttle until you press it again to change the voltage and speed.
