Oiling points for gears before test running,
and removal of body for DCC installation
DC OPERATION:
If you wish to run the model on standard DC – then do nothing. Our PCB will automacally recognise that
you have DC controller and will allow operaon at normal DC parameters. Important Note: This model
should only be used with a DC controller designed for model railways rated at 12V DC nominal voltage.
(oponally) fied with an appropriate DCC decoder it may also be used with a compable DCC
When
control system. You can turn the rear light off by pulling the DIP switch to the 'OFF 'posion.
DCC OPERATION:
Our model is fully DCC ready. The model is fied with a DCC board which features a Next 18 plug pre-fied
with a ‘blanking plug’. Carefully remove the blanking plug and insert the decoder of your choice. Before
converng to DCC please ensure that your decoder will fit the model, as some decoders are large and
could have a thick protecve outer shroud. To expose the PCB, simply pull the body away from the chassis
using finger pressure. Fit your decoder and programme as normal. Reclip the body.
We have designed this model to have independent control of front and rear lamps. For best operaon, we
recommend a 4 funcon (or greater) decoder is fied (for example a 6 funcon Dapol Imperium Next-18)
to your model. If you have purchased the Dapol factory fied decoder it has been fied with a
pre-programmed Imperium decoder (Please refer to separate DCC operaon instrucons supplied). If
fing a decoder (including a non-factory fied Imperium) you will need to consult the decoder manual to
correctly configure the decoder for operaon of the locomove lighng.
For reference, the model’s lighng assignments are below:
Decoder output Front light (FLf) Rear Light (FLr) AUX 1 AUX 2 AUX 3 AUX 4
Lighng Front white lamps Front red lamps Rear white lamps Rear red lamps No connecon Light bar (oponal)
EUROPEAN REGULATIONS:
To expose drive worms and chassis for roune maintenance, simply pull the complete
bogie assembly away from the chassis. The bogies are a ‘pull out ’ & ‘push in ’ fing
method. When refing, ensure that the gear on top of the bogie tower meshes with
the worm.
To remove roof, simply pull roof away from body to leave exposed body as image.

UNPACKING & HANDLING YOUR LOCOMOTIVE:
Dapol products conform to WEEE and RoHS requirements.
If you have a need to dispose of any electrical part, please do so correctly.

ACCESSORY PARTS:
•

Dummy Screw Coupling:
This is clipped into the hook already placed on the buffer beam.
Pipes
: Are fied in the order shown and push into matching openings in the buffer beam.
If desired a small spot of adhesive can be used to secure.
Addional detail parts are supplied in plasc bags within the outer case & fied as follows:
• Couplings can be removed or supplied alternaves fied by simply pulling the exisng
Rapido type away from the locomove. Alternaves simply push fit.
Please note that the following parts may interfere if a coupling is fied.
Decoder CV programming informaon:
To enable two buon control of lighng (F0 = #1 end, F1 = #2 end), the NMRA standard CV programming is:
CV33 = 5, CV34 = 6, CV35 = 10, CV36 = 9, CV51 = 24, CV52 = 0. This is the default seng for factory fied
decoders and will require to be re-programmed in this way if a full decoder factory reset is performed.
An extremely light applicaon of plasc safe * oil, such as Dapoil or Locolube before running in your
model is required, followed by maintenance oiling aer every 50 hours of running me. (Storage in hot
environments may require more frequent applicaons). Please be aware that over-oiling the wheel
bearings will interfere with the electrical pickup of your model. Therefore, we recommend you use a very
fine arst’s paintbrush to apply only the niest amount of lubricang oil precisely between the bearing
surfaces, as follows:
LIGHT BARS:
This model is "Light Bar Ready". The Dapol Light Bars operate on both DC and DCC power
without any external modificaon. Instrucons for fing Dapol Light Bars are contained
within the packaging of the Light Bar packs.
