Lubricating the Engine
Lubricate all exposed moving parts before operating using a multi-purpose, plastic-
compatible oil (available with M.T.H.'s Maintenance Kit, sold separately) or a light
household oil. Follow the lubrication instructions on page 8.
Priming the Smoke Unit
You should prime the smoke unit with smoke fluid
before operating. Add 15-20 drops of smoke fluid
from the included pipette through the smokestack,
then gently blow into the stack to eliminate any air
bubbles in the fluid.
If you choose not to prime the unit with fluid, turn
the smoke un to the
OFF position. Running the engine without a
primed smoke unit may cause damage. See the
"ProtoSmoke Unit Operation" section of this book
for more information on smoke unit maintenance.

Basic Operation
Operation Buttons
Throttle Up Throttle up the power to your track by pressing the top end of the Throttle
Control Rocker Switch firmly for about 5 seconds, until the engine's headlight and
lighted cars burn bright. Then put the engine into motion by firmly pressing the
Direction button (hold it for approximately 1 second) on your remote once. If the engine
does not begin to move as soon as you firmly press the Direction button, you may not
have sent enough voltage to the track to make the train move. Press the throttle up for a
few more seconds until the train begins to move.
To increase or decrease track voltage, and therefore train speed, press the throttle control
rocker switch. Pressing the top end of the throttle will increase voltage and speed.
Pressing the bottom end of the throttle will decrease voltage and speed.
The engine will maintain the speed you set after you release the throttle until you press it
again to change the voltage and speed.
Direction Lock
You can lock your engine into a direction (forward, neutral, or reverse) so that it will not
change directions. To do this, put the engine into the direction you want, then remove the
engine from the track and slide the ON/OFF switch located on the bottom of the engine
to the OFF position. The engine will not change direction (including going into neutral)
until you flip the switch back to
ON to return the engine to its
normal condition, even if the
engine is kept without power for
extended periods of time.
RailKing 0-4-0 Dockside Freight Set
Horn/Whistle - To sound the
whistle, firmly press the
Horn/Whistle button. The whistle
will sound for as long as you
continue to depress the button. It
will stop when you release the
button.
Bell - To sound the bell, firmly
press and release the Bell button.
To turn the bell off, press and
release the Bell button again.
The bell will continue to ring
from the time you turn it on until
you press and release the button
again to turn it off.
Direction Your train is
programmed to start in neutral.
The train will always cycle
neutral-forward-neutral-reverse
with each press and release of the
direction button. The engine is
programmed to restart in neutral
each time the track voltage is
turned off for 25 seconds or more.
Emergency Stop Press the
Emergency Stop button and all
trains on the track controlled by
the remote will stop until you
reapply voltage. This is an easy
way to shut down your trains at
the end of a session or to stop
suddenly if the train's path
becomes obstructed.

Maintenance
Care of the Remote Control
To ensure trouble-free operation:
• Do not drop he remote. It can damage the delicate electronics inside.
• Remote batteries before storing for extended periods.
• Any attempt by anyone other than an authorized M.T.H. Repair person to
open and repair the handheld transmitter ot lock-on may result in damage
and the loss f warranty protection.
• If your train responds inconsistently, replace old batteries with fresh ones. Do not mix
old and new batteries.
Lubrication Instructions
The engine should be oiled and greased in order to run properly.
Regularly lubricate all side rods and linkage components and pickup rollers to prevent
squeaking. Use light household oil, such as that found in M.T.H.'s maintenance kit. Do
not over oil. Use only a drop or two on each pivot point.
Greasing Instructions
Add grease to the internal drive gears (accessed through the gear box) annually or after
every 50 hours of operation. In order to access and put grease into the gear box:

Cleaning the Wheels, Tires and Track
Periodically check the locomotive wheels and pickups
for dirt and buildup, which can cause poor electrical
contact and traction. Wheels and tires can be cleaned
using denatured (not rubbing) alcohol applied with a
cotton swab.
To clean the track, use a clean rag and RailKing Track
Cleaning Fluid or denatured (not rubbing) alcohol.
Unplug the transformer and wipe the rails of the track,
turning the rag frequently to ensure that you are using clean cloth on the rails. Because
the manufacturing process leaves a coating on RealTrax center rail, you should clean the
rails after the first 30 minutes of use (you may notice an electrical smell during initial use
as the coating wears off; this is normal). Thereafter, keep an eye on the track and clean it
when it gets dirty to ensure good electrical contact and to lengthen the life of the tires.

ProtoSmoke Unit Operation
This steam locomotive contains a smoke unit that outputs smoke through the smokestack
on the boiler of the engine. The smoke unit is essentially a small heating element and
wick that soaks up and then heats a mineral oil-based fluid that emits smoke. The smoke
is then forced out of the stack by a small electric fan.
With a few easy maintenance steps, you should enjoy trouble-free smoke unit operation
for years.
!When preparing to run this engine, add 15-20 drops
of smoke fluid through the smokestack. We
recommend M.T.H. ProtoSmoke, Seuthe, LGB, or
LVTS fluids (a small pipette of ProtoSmoke fluid is
included). Do not overfill the unit or the fluid may
leak out and coat the interior engine components.
!If you choose not to add the fluid (or have already
added the fluid but choose to
dy. Failure either to add fluid to the unit or to
run smoke-free), turn
off the smoke unit switch located under the engine

!off may damage the smoke unit heating
element and/or wicking material.
!When the smoke output while running the
engine begins to diminish, add another 10-15
drops of smoke fluid or turn the smoke unit
off.
!When storing the unit for long periods of time,
you may want to add about 15 drops of fluid
to prevent the wick from drying out.
!After removing the engine from storage, add
another 25 drops of fluid, letting the wick soak
up the fluid for 15 minutes prior to operation.
If you experience poor or no smoke output when
the smoke unit is on and has fluid, check the wick
to see if it has become hard, blackened, and
unabsorbent around the heating element. Remove
the boiler as shown on page 7. Remove the smoke
unit inspection cover from the locomotive's body
(see right). After removing the chassis and
inspection cover screws, lift the inspection plate
away and inspect the wick. If it is darkly
discolored and hard, it should be replaced. When
priming new wick add 40 drops.

How to Get Service Under the Terms of the Limited One-Year Warranty
When you suspect an item is defective, please check the operator's manual for standard
operation and trouble-shooting techniques that may correct the problem. Additional
information may be found on the M.T.H. Website. Should you still require service, follow
the instructions below to obtain warranty service.
First, e-mail, write, call or fax a M.T.H.Authorized Service Center (ASC) in your area to obtain Repair
Authorization. You can find the list of ASCs on the M.T.H. Website, www.mth-railking.com. Authorized Service
Centers are required to make warranty repairs on items sold only from that store; all other repairs may-- or may not
be done at the store's own discretion. If you did not purchase the item directly from the ASC, you will need to
select a National Authorized Service Center (NASC). These centers are compensated by M.T.H. to perform
warranty service for any customer whose repair qualifies for warranty service. A list of NASC retailers can be
located on the M.T.H. Website or by calling 1-888-640-3700. Should the warranty no longer apply, you may
choose either an ASC or NASC retailer to service your M.T.H. Product. A reasonable service fee will be charged.
CAUTION: Make sure the product is packed in its original factory packaging including its foam and plastic
wrapping material to prevent damage to the merchandise. There is no need to return the entire set if only one of
the components is in need of repair unless otherwise instructed by the Service Center. The shipment must be
prepaid and we recommend that it be insured. A cover letter including your name, address, daytime phone
number, e-mail address (if available), Return Authorization number (if required by the service center, a copy of
your sales receipt and a full description of the problem must be included to facilitate the repairs. Please include
the description regardless of whether you discussed the problem with a service technician when contacting the
Service Center for your Return Authorization.
Please make sure you have followed the instructions carefully before returning any merchandise for service.
Authorized M.T.H. Service Centers are independently owned and operated and are not agents or representatives of
M.T.H. Electric Trains. M.T.H. assumes no responsibility, financial or otherwise, for material left in their
possession, or work done, by privately owned M.T.H.Authorized Service Centers.
If you need assistance at any time email MTH Service at , or call 410 381-2580.
