Configuring Locomotive for
2-Rail or 3-Rail Operation
Installing/Removing 3-Rail Pickup Rollers
Both 2-Rail and 3-Rail versions of this
locomotive can be configured to
operate on either 2-rail or 3-rail track
by removing or adding the center rail
pickups. 3-rail track operation requires
the pickups,
2-rail track operation does not.
The pickups are factory installed on
3-rail versions and packaged separately
in the locomotive box for 2-rail
versions. Each pickup roller installs
with a single Phillips screw seen in
Figure 1.

engine for 2-rail or 3-rail
operation, you must manually
select the power input switch
located in the tender as seen in
