INTRODUCTION
The Rex Mogul is a free lance passenger or light freight locomotive
designed from several prototypes, most of which have long been scrapped.
They reached the heighth of their popularity between 1910 and 1930.
The
closest prototype of this 2-6-0 wheel arrangement was the Green
Bay
&
Western built by the American Locomotive Co., but many similar
locomotives built both by Baldwin
and
American were quite common all
\
over the
U.S.A.

INTRODUCTION
The
Rex
Switcher is a free lance switching locomotive designed from
several prototypes, most of which have
been
scrapped. They reached the
heighth of their popularity between
1910
and
1930.
The
closest prototype of
this
0-60
wheel arrangement was the Penn-
sylvania
B-6
built
by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., but many similar
locomotives were built
both
by
the American and Baldwin Locomotive
Companies.
These
also were quite common
in
the U.S.A.

of

were

Before proceeding with the various steps of assembly we ask that you
unpack the parts and check them against the list. If anything appears to
be
missing or damaged please contad us. Extra parts may
be
ordered. Next
read the instructions thoroughly, identify hevarious parts and familiarize
yourself with the sequence in which you are going to need them for
assembly.
Where the right and left hand parts and assemblies are almost identical
and the text refers to one side only, it applies, of course to both sides.
KEEP THE EXPLODEDVIEW IN
FRONT
OF YOU AT ALL TIMES
AND REFER
TO
IT
EACH STEP.
2. PREPARE CASTINGS
The
kit
contains many
zinc
castings
which have exceptional detail and
a
accuracy. Before removing
the
flash and burrs from these castings we
suggest you familiarize yourself with
them
from the drawings and photo-
z
graphs,
so
that you will not remove any of the fine rivets and other details
that it took our expert die makers many hours to build into the kit for
you. The dies were made by Culp Die Co. of Philadelphia, Pa. and the
castings were by the Canton Die Casting
Co.
of Canton, Ohio and it is a
pleasure to pass on to these companies the
aedir
they so justly deserve.
Any PART NEEDING STRAIGHTENING,
APPLY
HEAT
OR PUT
IN
HOT WATER,
THIS WILL PREVENT BREAKAGE
OF
PART.

AND
BOILER.
Solder 103 worm to $117 motor shaft. Set worm about
l/lG
from
ezd of shaft and solder. Set motor and worm on a block of wood and
tet
run to make sure motor runs freely and quietly. Oil wick on pully
erd of motor and on back end of annature. Use toothpick and light oil.
Farce $+I26 grommet in front motor mounting hole
in
top of $313

pro-
rides a means
to
tighten or loosen the worm and gear fit. Place rubber
wisher $134 between part +304 rear mounting lug of the motor and
the
top of the *313 locomotive frame and fasten rear of motor in pIace
wth

and
rear motor mounting screws carefully, checking the gear mesh and
fit
BY ROTATING
THE
MOTOR ARMATURE BY
HAND.
Lubricate
the gears and all moving parts with a few drops of light oil. Now fasten
one terminal on the pickup wire to the left hand motor terminal with the
r197saew. If motor terminal
is
not tapped, the terminal may be soldered
in
place. The contact lug on top of motor should be on the other or right
hand terminal post in the illustration. Again make sure no bind occurs in
any of the moving parts. Wirh the mechanism upside down touch the left
hand drivers and the pickup wire with your 12-volt D.C. power leads.
The mechanism should now run freely. If any bind or noise should occur
at
this time
it
will probably
be
due to:
(1) Faulty gear adjustment, which can
be
eliminated with a screw
driver by loosening the front and rear motor screws until proper adjustment
is
secured.
(2)
Crosshead or rod bind. This latter difficulty, however, should have
been eliminated
if
all steps listed previously have been followed. When
everything runs freely with the mechanism upside down you are now
ready
to run the motor in for half hour or
so
in this position.
The
arma-
ture of a permanent magnet motor should never
be
removed, even for
a
short while. Morors magnetized after assembly will
be
weakened instantly
by armature removal. The motor manufacturers' recommendation
is
maximum
current on intermittant duty 1.0 amps; and the current at
the
recommended speed of 10,000
rpm
is 0.9 amps.
The two air $178 reservoirs (one on each side) are pushed in place
h
on the boiler underneath the running board. The $123 bell, #I38 air
compresser, 140 generator,
#
177 number plate and *223 headlight are
.
J
assembled into the holes provided for them and cemented in place. The
various accessories can
be
assembled in any sequence,as long as they do
not interfere with each other.
9.
ASSEMBLE HANDRAIL AND POSTS
The #323 and +I69 hand rail wire should
be
inserted through the
holes in the $135 hand rail
posts
before the posts are pressed into place.
This
prevents distorting the holes in the posts while they are being pressed
in. These little hand rail posts are made to scale. They are fragile and
CANNOT
BE
ABUSED. If the posts do nor seem to fit in their holes
L
tightly enough they can
be
held in place with a drop of metal cement. If
tight,
ream

10.
ASSEMBLE BOILER AND
CAB
TO FRAME.
Fit the ft310 cab into the slots provided at
rear
of boiler. Fasten with
one #I45 screw. The rear of the boiler fits over the platform on the
frame and
is
fastened in place with two #I45 screws. The front of boiler
sets down on the cylinder saddle and is held
in
place with two #I68
screws which pass through the frame and cylinder saddle into the holes in
the boiler.
These
holes are threaded.
The
two +I73 front steps should be
loosely fastened to the locomotive frame with #I97 screws. When the
h
boiler
is set in place it will locate the top of the steps
in
position. The
#
197 screws can be tightened after the
#
168screws are in place. If
#
168
.I
screws appear too long, fieoff a little and round the ends.
