Control Elements Relevant to Operations
Main Relay = The locomotive is turned on with this relay; the displays show the current operating situati-
on. The locomotive is not ready to run. No effect on the sound function (activate with stylus).
Pantograph up = This switch simulates raising the pantograph; the locomotive is now ready to run.
Speed Level = Changing speed levels to run the locomotive, when the speed level is reduced to 0 the loco-
motive remains at idle. The locomotive runs further and the speed is reduced according to the
momentum.
This reduction does not correspond to the settings for acceleration/braking delay (ABV).
The speed level can be controlled with the left control knob on the Central Station or with the
stylus.
Dead Man’s Switch = has to be pressed at regular intervals. If the button “dead man’s switch” is not pressed,
a request to do so will appear in the information display on the screen. If a speaker is connec-
ted to the Central Station, a warning will sound.
If the button “dead man’s switch” is not activated right after this, there will be a compulsory
braking of the train. The button “dead man’s switch” can be operated by pressing on the left
control knob or with the stylus.
Brakes = The locomotive is braked according to the setting of the brake lever (ABV not effective
here) when the brakes are activated. This can be done with the right control knob or with the
stylus.
Locomotive Functions = The functions for the locomotive are turned on and off with this button by means of
the stylus.
Supply Indicator = This sand supply is required for running the locomotive. If the sand supply is depleted, the
locomotive switches to a crawl. The locomotive cannot be controlled normally again until this
sand supply is replenished.
The way the sand supply is replenished differs according to the mode of operation.
Semi-pro: By pressing the symbol for a diesel fueling station (not limited by location)
Pro: Without an engineer’s cab, by pressing the symbol for a diesel fueling station (not
limited by location)
With an engineer’s cab, by pressing the operation indicator in question (not
limited by location)
With an engineer’s cab and with use of a locomotive refueling facility (at a rail
road maintenance facility, limited by location)
Specialist: With an engineer’s cab, by pressing the operation indicator in question (not limited
by location)
With an engineer’s cab and with use of a locomotive refueling facility (at a railroad
maintenance facility, limited by location)
Display = Here you get information about running the locomotive (dead man’s switch, replenishing
supplies, etc.).
Reversing Direction = Changing direction of travel. The direction of travel can be changed only at speed level 0.
Engineer’s Cab Window = Shows a fictitious route as well as on request fictitious facilities for replnishing fuel
and sand.
