adjusts the chuff rate up or down by one unit. Each
time you will hear the locomotive say “program.”
7. Press Button 5 to toggle between volume settings. You
will hear the locomotive say “program” with the new
volume settings.
8. To reset the locomotive back to its factory defaults:
Press the STP button five (5) times. Wait at least
2 seconds between presses. After each press the
locomotive will say “program.” After the 5th press,
you will hear “program” followed by steam hiss.
This confirms that the reset process is completed.
9. Once finished programming, turn the power switch on
the power pack to OFF. This will reset the locomotive
and lock in your programming. To resume operation,
follow the steps under “DC Operation”.
TIPS for Analog Operation
1. Turn up the throttle until sounds start and locomotive
idles.
2. Select the locomotive’s direction either by the direction
switch on the power pack or by the transmitter.

will be extended.
13. Whenever you feel that the locomotive is not operat-
ing properly you should move the throttle to zero or
25%-35% throttle setting (depending on your power
pack) and slowly move the throttle up again to control
the locomotive.
Programming in Analog Mode
While in analog mode, you can program the chuff rate
and the sound volume.
1. Place the locomotive on track.
2. Turn the power switch on the power pack to ON.
3. Slowly turn throttle until sounds come on.
4. Leaving the throttle where it is, shut off the power
switch on the power pack.
5. Hold down the STP button while turning the power
switch back on. Locomotive will say “Program.” You
are now in the analog programming mode.
6. Press Button 4 or Button 3 to speed up or reduce
the chuff rate, respectively. Each press of the button
3. Slowly start your locomotive moving by using the power
pack’s throttle to set desired top voltage setting.
4. Once underway, use the transmitter Button 4 to speed
up or Button 3 to slow down. Hold down the button
until you reach the desired speed.
5. If the top voltage setting at maximum speed is too low,
use the power packs throttle to adjust the top voltage
setting.
6. To conserve battery, use the throttle to control
locomotive speed and use the transmitter to activate
sounds.
7. The locomotive can be operated with either the power
pack’s throttle or with the radio transmitter (included
with your model) -- or both. If, while operating with
the transmitter, you wish to resume running with the
power pack while the locomotive is moving, flip the
direction switch on the power pack once (this will re-
acquire the locomotive to the power pack’s throttle).
To resume running with the transmitter, just start using
the transmitter’s speed, stop, or direction buttons.
