RailKing E-33 Rectifier Electric Engine

Speed Control:

M.T.H. engines equipped with Loco-Sound have speed control capabilities

that allow the engine to maintain a constant speed up and down grades and

around curves, much like an automobile cruise control. You can add or drop

cars on the run, and the engine will maintain the speed you set.

While the engine is programmed to start with the speed control feature

activated, you can opt to turn it off. This means the engine’s speed will fall as

it labors up a hill and increase as it travels downward. It is also affected by the

addition or releasing of cars while on the run. The engine will run more slowly

at a given throttle voltage when speed control is on than when it is off.

To turn speed control on and off,

put the engine in neutral, then press the

transformer’s Whistle button firmly but quickly one time then immediately

press the Bell button two times. Repeat the 1 whistle, 2 bells code to return it

to the other state. You will want to do this during the initial neutral upon

start-up if you ever couple this engine to another engine that is not equipped

with speed control to avoid damaging the motors in either engine. Each time

you shut down the engine completely, it will automatically turn speed control

on.

Direction Lock:

You can lock your engine into a directional state (forward, neutral, or reverse)

so that it will not change directions. To do this, put the engine into the

direction you want or into neutral, to lock it into neutral, run it at a very slow

crawl (as slowly as it will move without halting), and quickly but firmly press

your remote’s Horn button once followed immediately by three presses of the

Bell button.

Two horn blasts will indicate that the engine has made the change.

The engine will not change direction (including going into neutral) until you

repeat the 1 horn, 3 bells code to return the engine to its normal state, even if

the engine is kept without power for extended periods of time.
