C
ongratulations on your purchase of the Lionel Hot Metal Car! This car features a rotating
drum and a flickering hot metal load.
To prevent damage to the Hot Metal Car’s wiring and to prevent short circuits, do
not rotate the drum more than 120 degrees. Like prototypical Hot Metal Cars,
your model was not designed to turn upside-down.
Caution!
Rotating the drum
Y
ou will find that the drum locks in several positions as it is rotated by hand to either side.
Like prototypical Hot Metal Cars, the drum was not intended to be turned upside-down;
instead, the car was designed to be emptied at an angle. Refer to Figure 1. Do not rotate the drum
too far, or it will contact the rails and cause a short circuit.
