under the loco (Fig. 1 & 2).
Pos. 0 All power off
Pos. 1 power from tracks, motor and lights on
Pos. 2 same as Position 1
Pos. 3 power from catenary, motor and lights on
Multi-Purpose Socket
The model has a “flat“ multi-purpose socket, with a remo-
vable cover, on each end wall (Fig. 3 & 4). These sockets
can be used to provide track power to cars with lighting or
sound electronics.
Multi-Train System
The model is equipped with a factory-installed onboard de-
coder for the LGB Multi-Train System. It can be used without
modifications on analog or digital layouts. For operation
with the Multi-Train System, the model is programmed to
loco address 03. For information on programming the loco
address, see the instructions for various MTS components.
When operating with the Multi-Train System, you can remo-
tely control the loco’s functions. Press the lighting button
(“9” with remotes) to turn the loco lights on or off.
When operating with the Multi-Train System, the loco fea-
tures a “Back-EMF” function. This keeps the motor speed
constant (and under normal conditions the loco speed),
even when the load of the loco changes, for example, in
curves or on grades.
Catenary Power Operation
This locomotive can be operated with a powered catenary
