Operating Manual
Tank Locomotive, class 75
1-3
, Bad VI b /
former Baden State Railway class VI b
L13118x
L13119x
Note on original:
The Baden VIb was the first German tender locomotive with the axle sequence 1‘C1‘. It was developed by
Maffei for the Grand Ducal Baden State Railways in order to improve operations for example on the Höllental
railway rout.
In 1900 there were still 15 serving as saturated steam locomotives. Another eight blocks of about 100
locomotives followed till 1908. Noteworthy on these locos was the connection pipe between the two
steam domes.
Generating 540 hp and a top speed of 80 km/h it soon became too weak for service on the main line routes
and was gradually replaced by the more powerful, faster and also approximately 1000 mm longer successor
the Class VIc. However, despite everything, or perhaps precisely because of this, the locomotives slowly
became distributed throughout Germany.
Of the 131 locomotives, 122 were taken on by the German State Railway and assigned the Class 751-3.
Between 1921 and 1923 another block of 42 locomotives was delivered. The German Federal Railways
obtained 117 of the vehicles. 1962 saw the last representative of this locomotive, the 75 299, finally withdrawn from service. Seven locos served with the German State Railways in Eastern Germany until finally
decommissioned by 1965.
Preparing the model for operation on your layout
Remove your locomotive – encased in the blister pack – carefully from the box. Open the blister pack
according to the illustration in Fig. 1a / 1b, remove the locomotive, and place it on the track. The DC
model is suitable for operation on 14 volts maximum. The AC version is designed as standard for both
analogue operation on 16 volts maximum and for digital operation. First, allow the locomotive to drive
forward and backward for a few minutes at about half the voltage, and then it is ready for operation.

Super-detailing your model
All details are factory fitted with the exception of the two storage compartments SK. These are intended
to complete a static display model or for use when the loco is operated on very large radius curves as
they limit the side play of the rear bogie. Fig. 3 shows how these storage compartments are inserted into
the existing storage unit mouldings from below.
Cornering capability
This model is designed for track systems with even a narrow track radius – minimum radius R 356 mm.
Maintenance and care of your model
To ensure a long useful life, your model should be serviced regularly. For minor service, the model
does not need to be opened. Simply place the model on a soft surface as shown in Fig. 2, clean the
wheel contacts with a cotton swap dipped in denatured alcohol, and then clean the wheels. Under no
circumstances should you turn the drive wheels of the locomotive by hand. After cleaning, apply
a drop of machine oil to the bearing points shown in Fig. 2. Use commercially available oils with a fine
canula or a pin.
Caution: Do not use cooking oils or skin creams!

Removing the cab
Fig. 3 shows how to detach the cab from the loco body, as follows:
First, using your thumbnails apply gentle pressure to the cab above the forward spectacle plates (forward
view cab windows) and move the cab upwards in a slightly rotating movement; then lift it off. This will
automatically disengage the bunker top TA from its mounting.

Removing the loco body
Lay the loco upside down
on a soft surface as shown
in Fig. 4 and undo screw S1
and both screws S2. Screw
S1 is accessed by gently
bending the brake rigging
BG upwards, allowing this
to disengage from its fixing
by levering it out with a fine
blade screwdriver.

Lubrication of the drive mechanism
To access the drive mechanism for lubrication purposes the loco body first needs to be removed from
the chassis (see ”Removing the cab”). Lubricate the worm and toothed gear wheels as shown in Fig. 5.
Apply a commercially available oil with a fine canula or pin. Afterward, move the model slightly forward
and backward to distribute the oil to the transmission components that are situated farther inside. Repeat
this procedure as needed. We recommend this service after every 30 to 40 hours of operation.

21-pole digital interface
A built in 21-pole digital interface PL allows conversion to digital operation (Fig. 6). It is accessed by
removing the cab (see ”Removing the cab”) or by removing the complete loco body from the chassis
(see ”Removing the loco body”).
Prior to conversion please ensure
that all functions work correctly in
DC operation. Unplug the bridging
plug JP vertically (Fig. 6) and store
it somewhere safe. Now plug in the
decoder. Please follow exactly the
installation instructions supplied by
the decoder manufacturer. For all
queries regarding decoder function
and installation please contact the
decoder supplier or manufacturer direct. Please note that we can accept
no liability in respect of any decoder
subsequently installed in the model.

Loco sound system
The loco comes prepared for sound system installation. The installation of the 16 mm speaker requires
the removal of the loco body from the chassis (see ”Removing the loco body”). The boiler backplate
KR (Fig. 5) serves as the speaker securing point. Undo both screws S3 and clip the speaker into place
with the diaphragm facing outwards.
The sound decoder can be plugged vertically into the 21-pole digital interface PL in place of the
bridging plug JP or in place of another decoder. Two connection pins SPK on the circuit board provide
the electrical link for the speaker.
It is essential to follow exactly the instructions supplied by the manufacturer of the decoder and the
speaker. Please note that we can accept no liability in respect of any speaker subsequently installed in
the model.
If you have the AC version of the model...
Please see the following important notes for LILIPUT model operation on the stud contact AC system:
This model is fitted with a decoder (type ESU-LokPilot V 4.0) which allows either analogue 16 volt AC
or digital operation. The mode of operation of the decoder is explained in the accompanying manual
provided by the supplier, ESU.
The stud contact electrical pick up skate is clipped to the chassis by means of support HA, as shown
in Fig. 7. To change the skate, move the securing arms A of support HA laterally slightly outwards with
a small screwdriver. This releases the support and the skate can then be removed.
