Notes to the Model

Handrails

Sort the handrails carefully before installation. There are several pairs of short handrails that are slightly different.

Also be careful with the rear side grabs (they have a curved bottom to them). Two of the grab irons have long mounting pins and two have short mounting pins. The ones with short mounting pins go at the corner of the shell.

Couplers

The model comes with acceptable Proto 2000 couplers. They are plastic with a plastic knuckle spring so you will probably be replacing them sometime. Kadee number 5 couplers fix Ok in both boxes. If you want closer coupling on the rear #x3's (23, 33, 43) will reduce the back to back coupling distance to about three scale feet. This will handle curves down to 15" radius. To get closer coupling than this will require custom work.

Decoder Installation

Decoder installation is easy. On the circuit board cut the traces at the three "X"s and solder the decoder wires to the numbered pads.

  • Pad one is for the Orange Wire
  • Pad four is for the Black Wire
  • Pad five is for the Gray Wire
  • Pad six is for the White Wire
  • Pad seven is for the Blue Wire
  • Pad eight is for the Red Wire
There are no solder pads for the rear headlight (Yellow wire, should be pad two) or function one (Green wire, should be pad three).
The headlight will be too dim. I soldered a 300 ohm resistor in parallel with the one on the board to get enough brightness.
