The classic lines of the McDonald's Ray Kroc built in

Des Plaines, Illinois, in 1955 bring an authentic

American look to any layout, from the mid-50s to

today. With its sturdy ABS construction and easy-to-

wire interior lighting, this timeless restaurant will find a

TM

permanent home in RailTown , just as it has in every

American town.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

RailKing Original McDonald’s® Operating Instructions 2

The lighting in the Original McDonald's® can be powered via either track

power or by a 9v battery. To set up the building's power, gently turn the

restaurant upside down and prop it carefully on a soft surface, so you do not

damage the decorated shell. Caution: Because there are different light bulbs

for track and battery power, you should choose which method you will use

and not try to switch between the two. The 18v bulb has a white socket, and

the 9v bulb has a grey socket.
