RAILKING
6-8-6 BANTAM TURBINE
STEAM ENGINE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This RailKing 6-8-6 Bantam Turbine Steam Engine is produced in detailed Die-Cast
Metal and operates on O-31 track. This RailKing Steam Engine contains state-of-the-art
electronics with many built-in automatic features for incredibly realistic operation.
Despite these advanced features, the locomotive is easy to operate with any compatible
standard AC transformer (see the compatibility chart on page 18), and is completely
compatible with most other 3-rail locomotives, rolling stock, and accessories.
This locomotive is equipped with Proto-Sound 2.0 with Digital Command System
(DCS). This new system will allow you to operate your locomotive in Command mode
(when used with the DCS Remote Control System, sold separately) or Conventional
mode. Conventional operating features are described in the following pages, while the
DCS operating features are covered in the set of operating instructions that
accompanies the DCS equipment. Conventional Mode operation of this locomotive is
much simpler than operation of original Proto-Sound engines. For your own safety and
that of your equipment, please read the instructions before you operate this engine.
