Mode of Operation Switch
There are two power control switches located in the cab
with the engineer (Figure 1). Use the upper switch to select
track or catenary power (Figure 3).

Catenary Power Operation
This locomotive can be operated with a powered catenary
system (see Operating Modes). The bottom of this model is
marked with a red dot. Place the model on the track with
the red dot pointing to the rail that is not connected to the
catenary power supply (Figure 3).
CAUTION! This model may be powered with a catenary on
analog layouts only. For operation with the digital Multi-
Train System, the model must use track power. Otherwise,
dangerously high voltages may result.
Multi-Purpose Socket
This model has “flat“ multi-purpose sockets, with removable
covers, on the front and rear of the loco (Figure 4). 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
