MTHTrains RailKing 30-2134-3 User manual

RAILKING NON POWERED
DOODLEBUG OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for purchasing the RailKing production of a Non Powered
Doodlebug Engine. The Doodlebug’s durable ABS body and die-cast
trucks are traditionally sized for operation on most O-31 Gauge track. The
engine makes a perfect compliment for a powered RailKing Doodlebug and
features an operating headlight and operating leading coupler and is
completely compatible with most 3-rail locomotives, rolling stock and
accessories.

OIL & LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS
In order for the engine to perform correctly and quietly, it is important that
the chassis be lubricated before operation. Lubrication should include all
truck block bushings and pickup rollers to prevent them from squeaking.
Use light household oil and follow the lubrication points marked “L" in Fig.
1 below.
Periodically, check the locomotive wheels and pickups for dirt buildup as
this can significantly affect the engine’s ability to perform properly. Dirty
track and dirty wheels can cause both poor electrical contact as well as poor
traction, especially on elevated track sections.
HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENT
The Doodlebug contains one grain of wheat 1.5v headlight bulb that is
controlled by the track voltage. The headlight bulb simply plugs into its
lamp socket and can be easily removed should the bulb expire. To remove
the interior bulbs, remove the cab by unscrewing the body mount screws as
shown in Figure 1. Once the cab has been removed from the chassis, gently
slide and push the bulb to unlock it from its lamp housing. Once unlocked,
the bulb will pull out of the socket. Replacement bulbs are available
directly from MTH Electric Trains.
