Minimum radius require for operation: 1,020 mm / 40-3/16"

Minimum spacing for two parallel tracks with the minimum radius at 1,020mm /40-3/16":149 mm / 5-7/8".

If the spacing is too small, these cars can sideswipe each other or other cars and locomotives on curves an thus cause damage to these cars!

Lighting

These cars have built-in LED lighting that has been installed at the factory. This LED lighting consumes very little power and is therefore suitable for digital or Delta operation. In conventional operation (AC or DC power) this lighting does not begin to work until the cars are being pulled at fairly high speeds by a locomotive.

Important:

All of the wheel sets on these cars are used for providing power to the lighths. The wheels for both trucks are therefore electrically connected with each other. Insulated track joints (for signal blocks, etc.) will be bridged by these trucks. It may happen that a train will run through a signal block, where the power has been shut off by a signal set for stop, if these cars are in the train.

These cars can be used with the 72441/72442 brake module only if the first transition area is the length of the entire train (!), not the length of the longest locomotive. A transition area that is too short may lead to the destruction of the Control Unit!

Conversion of the circuit board for the lighting

The circuit board for the lighting is ready for the installation of a function decoder. With this decoder the lights in either half of the car's corridor or in half of the compartments can be turned on separately in digital operation.

1. Remove the car roof

Important: The roof has several very rigid snap-in connections. A certain amount of force is therefore necessary to remove the roof.

2. Cut the conductors 3. Install the decoder

Please note the directions for the coding switches on the function decoder in the instructions that come with this unit.
