OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for purchasing the MTH Electric Trains DL-110 locomotive.
This ¼" scale reproduction of the famous DL-110 locomotive measures
over 19" in length and weighs almost 5 pounds. Despite its scale size, the
locomotive is capable of operating on O-42 3-rail track with most
compatible AC transformers (see the chart on page 9 for a complete list of
compatible transformers and wiring instructions) and is completely
compatible with the DL-109 A unit diesel.
The locomotive is equipped with several deluxe features that are simple
and fun to operate. Each feature is described among the following pages
which should be read before the engine is operated. For those of you who
can't wait to get started, the Quick Start Basic Operating Instructions
found on Pages 3 and 4 should be read so that you understand the basics of
the operating system.
