Opening the vehicles

The railcar only needs to be opened for the retrofitting of a decoder or to exchange the motor. To

do this it is necessary to dismantle the car body as shown in fig. 7. The car bodies of Unit A and B

are held by means of six clips; Unit C by four. The position of the clips can be recognised by a small

paring (F) in the bogie. See here fig. 8. It is sensible to separate the units and to carry out the requi-

site work on the individual model. Place the unit upside down on a soft surface. Slide a screwdriver

into the gap and by turning gently loosen the car body from the bogie. We suggest from this point

on using paper or thin cardboard so as to ensure that the rail body does not snap back together

again. Now loosen the remaining clips as just described. Afterwards, you can remove the car body

in its entirety. We earnestly suggest this method of proceeding so that none of the many add-on

parts are damaged during this work.

Installation of a decoder and loudspeaker

Before installing a decoder, please check all the analogue functions of the railcar. As already

described above the 21-pin NEM 660 port is located in Unit B. After disassembling the rail body,

you will see as in fig. 9 on the main circuit board (G) the port with a jumper.

First remove the loudspeaker holder (H) and then

the jumper on the port. You can now insert the de-

coder into the port. Once you have fitted a sound

decoder clip the loudspeaker of 20 mm diameter in

the holder, and only then fit the loudspeaker again

in Unit B. There are already two pins (J) on the

main circuit board to accept the loudspeaker.
