Bachmann MR 1532 (1P) Owner's Information

Many thanks for purchasing one of our Bachmann Branchline MR 1532 (1P) Tank Locomotives. A lot of care was
taken producing your model and we hope you enjoy it for many years to come.
Please note: This model has been designed to run on curves of no less than 2nd Radius (438mm). We recommend
that you don't use anything smaller as this may result in the model derailing.
For analogue use we recommend using a controller with a smoothed output. If you have any doubts please
consult the controller manufacturer before operating this model. Do not use with Electronic Track Cleaners.

3. Running-in
It is necessary that this Locomotive is 'run-in' to allow the mechanism and gears to settle. This requires the model
to be run without a load (wagons, coaches, etc.) for 30 minutes in each direction at half speed.
