Sound:
Depending on the specifications of Diesel Sound/Horn unit that you have chosen for your model, when
the model is powered on and is not moving, you should hear the engine idling sound. As you speed up or
down in either forward or reverse directions the engine sound should also rev up or down in a
synchronized fashion, and idle when the model comes to a standstill.
Lights:
The lights are directional and on the motors. So when the model moves in any direction, the head,
markers lamps and fog lamp in that direction light up.
NOTE: An unwired smaller SPDT toggle switch has been provided in the cab so that, if required, it can be
wired to control the power to the Diesel Sound/Horn unit and the locomotive’s lights.
Lubricating:
With a bit of care, your PLine NDM6 Mk2. should give you many years of pleasure and reliable service.
Lubrication is of prime importance for a model of this type with moving parts. Always use quality
lubricants. This should not be a problem, for there are many modern lubricants available in hobby and
sport shops. Light oil such as Labelle #108 or Hoppe’s Gun Oil would be good enough for lubricating
most of the moving parts. For the brass bevel gears, use a light gear grease, or any another hobby gear
lubricant. The brass bevel gears driving each axle can be lubricated by applying grease on the gear teeth
using a small flat blade screw driver. To access the moving parts of this model, it is best to carefully
place it on its side on a soft towel or foam sheet. Use oil that is a bit heavier to lubricate the axle ends.
Do not over lubricate, for excess oil only picks up unwanted dirt. Be careful to keep lubrication off the
painted surfaces, as this causes shiny areas. Thorough Lubrication of the locomotive should be done
every 3 hours of operation.
Operating the model:
Once the Radio Control and Diesel Sound/Horn units have been wired in and battery packs connected to
the Locomotive and Transmitter, double check all the wiring to make sure you have the correct
connections as recommended by the manufacturers of your Radio Control and Diesel Sound/Horn units.
