Operating Manual

Freight train locomotive with tender,

2-8

Class 56

and Austrian Type 656

L13156x

Note on original:

The Prussian freight train locomotive type G8 1, subsequent class 55
pusher axle (D h2), with approximately 5,000 units, was the most frequently built regional railway loco­motive in general. The Deutsche Reichsbahn (German State Railways) had 3,122 of these in its inventory.
However, due to its lack of a pusher axle, it could only reach a top speed of 55 km/h and the heavy axle
load of 17.6 tons made it unsuitable for use on secondary lines. To eliminate these disadvantages, the DRG
decided to convert the machine. The locomotive was given a pusher axle in front, and the boiler and chas­sis were adapted so that the maximum speed was increased to 70 km/h and the locomotive could also be
used for passenger trains.
Between 1934 and 1941, 691 of these machines were converted in this way and, to distinguish them from
the original design, were reclassified as type 56
The Deutsche Bundesbahn (German Federal Railways) had 386 of these units in inventory.

Taking Your Model into Operation

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 ver-
sion is designed for a maximum of 14 volts, and the AC model can be operated in analog mode with up to
16 volts, or digitally. 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.

Refinement of Your Model

All of the components have already been assembled and installed for you.

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 circum-
stances 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.

Lubricating the Transmission

To lubricate the transmission, place the locomotive on a soft surface as shown in Fig. 2 and remove the
bottom cover after loosening the three S1 screws. 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.

Uncoupling the Locomotive and Tender

The locomotive and tender are fitted with special
couplings that transmit current and can, if required
– for example, for purposes of maintenance work
on individual vehicles or to install a smoke genera­tor – be uncoupled.

To do this please gently press the retaining collar H
(Fig. 3) downwards with a screwdriver and pull the
tender from the locomotive.

Coupling the Locomotive and Tender

Locomotive and tender are placed on the rails a little distanc from each other as in Fig. 3. Now carefully
push the tender up to the locomotive. The two coupling parts slide in each other and the retaining clip H
engages. At the same time connect all electrical contacts to each other.

Installing and Operating a Smoke Generator

The smoke generator – e.g. Seuthe No. 20 for
analog or No. 24 for digital operation – can be

used.
Pull up the smokestack and remove the B bushing
underneath it with the fingernails. Insert the smoke
generator (see Fig. 4) into the designated hole until
it stops.
Follow the steps shown in Fig. 4.

Caution: If you plan to actuate the smoke ge­nerator with a digital decoder, please review the
operating instructions for the smoke generator and
the decoder first to ensure that the decoder is sui­table for this operation with respect to current load
rating.

Opening the Locomotive

The locomotive should be opened only for repairs. Loosen the S2 and 2 x S3 screws (see Fig. 2), push in
the two R1 catch hooks under the driver’s cab, and carefully lift off the locomotive housing.

Activating and Deactivating the Smoke Generator

The smoke generator can be activated and deactivated using the Sw switch located on the tender board
(see Fig. 6).

Lift up the coal box. The tender box is secured on
the underside from below with the two S4 screws
and is held in the front with two R2 catch hooks
(see Fig. 5).

Now turn the tender box – as shown in Fig. 6 –
slightly and lift it up.

21-Pole PI Interface

A 21-pole interface is integrated for converting to digital operation. This interface is accessible after lifting
off the coal box. Before converting, check to make sure all functions are in order in DC operation. Pull up

the Jp bridging plug vertically (Fig. 6) and keep it in a safe place. Next, attach the digital decoder, follo­wing the installation instructions from the manufacturer. For questions on the function or the installation,
contact the supplier or manufacturer of your decoder. Please note that no liability will be assumed for sub­sequently installed decoders.

Locomotive Sound

The tender is already fully prepped for locomotive sound operation. To install the loudspeaker, remove the
tender box (see section on „Opening the Tender“). Also, loosen the two S5 screws and carefully remove
the main board. Take care not to loosen any wires when doing this.
The empty sound capsule for securing the loudspeaker is fastened with 2 screws underneath the board.
Snap the loudspeaker – e.g. from ESU with d = 23 mm – into the sound capsule with the membrane
facing down.
The sound decoder can be attached vertically onto the 21-pole interface instead of the Jp bridging plug
or other decoder. There are two +SP- soldering pins on the circuit board for connecting the loudspeaker
(Fig. 6). Be sure to follow the instructions from the manufacturer of the decoder and loudspeaker
manufacturers.

If you have decided on a LILIPUT model for a
three-rail AC system, please note the following:
This model has an integrated digital decoder
(ESU-Lokpilot) that allows you to operate your
vehicle in 16-volt analog AC mode, or digitally.
The accompanying operating instructions from
ESU contain information on the operation of the
decoder. For current pick-up by the center rail,
a collector is snapped into the chassis with an
HA holder as shown in Fig. 7. To change out
the collector, use a small screwdriver to push
arm A of the HA holder slightly out to the side.
This will release the retaining fit of the holder
and the collector can be removed.
