Page 3: Set Up Checklist
Set Up Checklist • Assemble RealTrax® • Connect the transformer • Lubricate the engine • Place the engine and cars on the track and couple them together • Apply power to run as described in the Basic Operation section of these instructions. -
Page 4: Assembling Realtrax
Assembling RealTrax™ Unlike other O Gauge track systems, each RealTrax section features a realistic built-in roadbed base, solid nickel-silver track rails, and realistic railroad ties, all designed to give you an authentic looking track system. The quick connectors and built-in roadbed allow you to set up RealTrax anywhere, including most carpeted surfaces, without the need for track nails or the worry of carpet stains. -
Page 5: Connecting The Transformer
Connecting the Transformer The transformer included with this set provides an easy-to-use, safe power source for AC-powered trains and accessories. To complete the connection between the track and the transformer, simply plug in the color-coded wire harness that was included in your set and plug the transformer into your wall outlet. -
Page 6: Basic Operation
Basic Operation The Throttle knob controls how fast your train will travel. Turn the throttle knob up ½-way, until the engine and caboose lights shine bright. Put the engine into motion by pressing the Direction button on your transformer once. (hold it for approximately 1 second) If the engine does not begin to move as soon as you firmly press the Direction button, you may not have sent enough voltage to the track to make the train move. -
Page 7: Activating Proto-Sound 2.0 Conventional Mode Feature
Figure 2: Volume Adjustment Proto-Sound 2.0 Operating Instructions This manual contains the operating instructions for Proto-Sound 2.0 in conventional mode only. Instructions for accessing DCS command mode features accompany the DCS Remote Control System equipment (sold seperately). Activating Proto-Sound 2.0 Conventional Mode Features: Proto-Sound 2.0 features are activated by sequences of Bell and Whistle button pushes described below. -
Page 8: Tips On Using Psa

After about 30 seconds, press the Direction button again to trigger the third PSA sequence. 5. Again, after allowing about 30 seconds for that sequence to run, press the Direction button one more time to trigger the fourth and final PSA sequence. -
Page 9: Proto-Coupler® Operation
Proto-Coupler® Operation This locomotive is equipped with two coil-wound Proto-Couplers for remote uncoupling action. Because the Proto-Coupler is controlled through the Proto- Sound 2.0 microprocessor, it does not require an uncoupling track section or modification to your layout to function. Use the codes listed below to fire the coupler. -
Page 10: Lock Into A Direction State
Lock into a Directional State: You can lock your engine into a directional state (forward, neutral, or reverse) to prevent it from changing directions. To do this, put the engine into the direction you want or into neutral, to lock it into neutral, run it at a very slow speed (< 10 scale mph), and quickly but firmly press your remote’s Whistle button once followed immediately by three presses of the Bell button. -

5. Repeat the procedure for the other motor and truck 6. Reassemble the chassis and body, being careful that the wires are not caught between the body and chassis, as this can lead to a short that may damage the electronics beyond repair. -
Page 13: Locomotive Traction Tire Replacement
Traction Tire Replacement Instructions Your locomotive is equipped with two neoprene rubber traction tires on the rear set of flanged drivers. While these tires are extremely durable, you may need to replace them at some point. 1. Remove the truck sides from the truck block in order to slip the new tire over the grooved drive wheel. -

Page 16: Self-Charging Battery Back-Up
Self-Charging Battery Back-Up The special NiCad 2.4v self-charging battery pack recharges continuously during train operation and should last for up to five years. The battery is a dry battery that should not leak or cause any damage to your engine. Depending upon when your engine was built, it may need to be charged right out of the box. -

Page 21: Additional Features With Dcs Remote Control System
Additional Features Accessible with the DCS Remote Control System: (additional equipment required) While conventional mode operation of a Proto-Sound 2.0 engine yields wonderfully realistic sound and several train control features, command mode operation allows the user to access a world of command functions never before accessible to O Gauge railroaders. -
