Lubricating the Transmission

To lubricate the transmission, place the locomotive on a soft surface as shown in Fig. 2 and remove the

bottom cover after loosening the three S1 screws. Apply a commercially available oil with a fine canula

or pin. Afterward, move the model slightly forward and backward to distribute the oil to the transmission

components that are situated farther inside. Repeat this procedure as needed. We recommend this ser-

vice after every 30 to 40 hours of operation.

The smoke generator – e.g. Seuthe No. 20 for

analog or No. 24 for digital operation – can be

used.

Pull up the smokestack and remove the B bushing

underneath it with the fingernails. Insert the smoke

generator (see Fig. 4) into the designated hole until

it stops.

Follow the steps shown in Fig. 4.

Caution: If you plan to actuate the smoke ge-

nerator with a digital decoder, please review the

operating instructions for the smoke generator and

the decoder first to ensure that the decoder is sui-

table for this operation with respect to current load

rating.

Installing and Operating a Smoke Generator

The locomotive and tender are fitted with special

couplings that transmit current and can, if required

– for example, for purposes of maintenance work

on individual vehicles or to install a smoke genera-

tor – be uncoupled.

To do this please gently press the retaining collar H

(Fig. 3) downwards with a screwdriver and pull the

tender from the locomotive.

Coupling the Locomotive and Tender

Locomotive and tender are placed on the rails a little distanc from each other as in Fig. 3. Now carefully

push the tender up to the locomotive. The two coupling parts slide in each other and the retaining clip H

engages. At the same time connect all electrical contacts to each other.
