RailKing 6-8-6 Steam Turbine Engine

If you choose not to prime the unit

with fluid, turn the smoke unit switch

located under the

engine to the OFF

position (see Figure 5). Running the

engine without a primed smoke unit

may cause damage. See the

“ProtoSmoke Unit Operation” section

of this book for more information on

smoke unit maintenance.

Coupling the Engine and Cars

Our couplers are designed for realistic

operation. Place the engine and cars on

the track and couple them together. If the coupler is already closed, press

down on the small finger that extends from under the right side of the coupler

to open the coupler knuckle and allow the couplers to interlock as shown in

Figure 6.

Insert the reverse unit plug that extends out

of the tender into the receptacle at the back

of the engine. Connect the draw bar

between the engine and tender.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THIS

ENGINE TO A TENDER FROM

ANOTHER ENGINE; IT MAY CAUSE

SERIOUS DAMAGE.

Look at the bottom

of the engine and tender where each will

have a color-coded stamp. If they match

you may connect those two pieces; if not,

don’t.
