  • Page 2 CP D10 4-6-0 LOCOMOTIVE PRODUCT GUIDELINES Thank you for purchasing the next release in Rapido’s Icons of Canadian Steam series – the Canadian Pacific’s most prolific steam engine, the Ten-Wheeler D10.

No, seriously, we’ve been around now for 20 years now and have been pumping out a lot of beauty Canadian products.

  • Page 4: Prototype History

    PROTOTYPE HISTORY The D10-class Ten-Wheeler was the most numerous class of steam locomotive not only for the CPR but in all of Canada. Five hundred and two of these useful 4-6-0s were built between 1905 and 1913, and many lasted until the end of CP steam service in 1961.

  • Page 5: Break-In

    BREAK-IN Just so we’re clear, that doesn’t mean break into anyone’s layout room to steal their D10. And don’t break into a hobby shop either because that is really frowned upon. Just buy more for yourself. But this isn’t about that kind of break-in. Every locomotive needs a break-in period.

  • Page 6: Checking And Adjusting Your Locomotive

    adhesive for reattaching the bits, although you are welcome to use CA but only if you are very careful or very brave. Remember to apply the CA to the part and not to the model (don’t ask us how we know this). CHECKING AND ADJUSTING YOUR LOCOMOTIVE We try and make sure that every locomotive is perfectly up to spec before it leaves the factory, but if it was a Monday night and our factory workers were arguing over...

    or FedEx distribution center. Model trains generally don’t survive well after being “spiked” because Mikey strip sacked the QB near the warehouse loading dock. If you see some parts are missing and they are not floating around the packaging, let us know and we will send you replacements.

  • Page 8: Removing The Shell

    REMOVING THE SHELL If you need to open your D10 to install a crew or a decoder, you will need to follow these steps: • We recommend that you only attempt opening up your locomotive in a zero-gravity environment. That way, if a part does break off, it will just be suspended there, right where you broke it, ready for you to reinstall it.
  • Page 9 • Under the smokebox at the front of the engine are two angled wire rods (e) connected to each other by a platform under the headlight. These rods need to be disengaged from the pilot deck and lifted clear from the holes at the front of the chassis.

  • Page 10: Operation - Dc (Silent)

    Any requests for replacement models because you broke a part off will be met with laughter, followed by sadness, then laughter again, and then a very polite suggestion that you should model a locomotive rebuilder and use your recently broken loco as scenery.

  • Page 11: Operation - Dc (Sound)

    At the time of writing, we recommend only the following non-sound 21-pin decoders: • ESU #59029 - LokPilot 5 Basic with 21MTC • ESU #59629 - LokPilot 5 DCC with 21MTC We feel the 21-pin connectors are superior because there are enough pins to ensure that all your lighting functions are connected.

  • Page 12: Operation - Dcc (Sound)

    — WA R NING — Rapido products are designed to operate safely between 0V and 16V. Voltages in excess of 16V - as well as irregular waveforms, voltage spikes or short circuits - may cause severe and sometimes irreversible damage to the product.

  • Page 13: Locomotive Address

    LOCOMOTIVE ADDRESS Your Rapido D10 comes from the factory with a decoder address of 3. We suggest if you are using DCC control that you first test that the locomotive responds on address 3 to all functions – motor, lights, sounds, everything. Once you have verified that the locomotive is responding, you should assign it a unique address (normally the road number of the unit) before going any further.

    simmering. However, if someone else selects your locomotive’s number and F8 isn’t pressed on their controller, the D10 will promptly go silent. They will need to press F8 again. FUNCTIONS F15 Doppler Whistle Directional Headlights & Dynamo Bell F16 Injector F18 Ash Dump Whistle F19 Blowdown...

Refer to the “Custom Sound Settings” section below to see which whistles are which (say that five times fast). F3 Coupler Clank The real D10, including its tender, weighs over 175 tons, and when it couples up to a 50 ton freight car or an 80 ton passenger car, there's going to be some noise.
  • Page 16 F9 Heavy Load Mode “Heavy Load” allows you to adjust the “Steam Cut Off Valve” at any speed allowing for a fierce full chuff or drifting with snifters and rod clanks. Heavy load can also act as an offset allowing speed adjustments when engaged if desired. Pressing F9 again returns to normal operation.
  • Page 17 F19 Blowdown Clean out any crud that may have accumulated in the lower parts of the water jacket and mud ring by pressing F19. Just make sure that nobody is standing next to the loco when you do! F20 Safety Valve Let off some steam! Used to prevent boiler explosions due to over-pressurization, safety valves are mounted on the dome in front of the cab.

    If you don't have enough flange squeal in your life, re-map F29 to a lower function number so you can play it on your DCC throttle. It can be kind of high pitched and loud so you might want to turn it down. WE SAID YOU MIGHT WANT TO TURN DOWN THE FLANGE SQUEAL!

    — V ERY IM PORTANT — Before you manually change any of the volume control CVs, you must set CV 31 to 16 and then CV 32 to 1. CV 31 and CV 32 are used as index selection registers and if you don’t set them first, unspeakable things may happen to your unit.
