QUICK START GUIDE

I USE A REGULAR DC SUPPLY…

Step 1: Unpack your Engine (refer to unpacking instruction on pg 4)…

Step 2: Set the engine on the track …

Step 3: Apply increasing DC voltage until she starts up and pulls out!

CAUTION: M.T.H. HO engines DO NOT OPERATE ON AC

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Getting to Know Your M.T.H. HO Locomotive

Key Features

Your new HO Diesel Engine is equipped with a DCC-Ready receiver receptacle.

In plain English, this means your locomotive is ready-to-run using any DC power

supply and can be quickly updated to command control with any DCC decoder.

Compatibility

This HO model has directionally controlled LED's, has locations for DCC

decoders to drive the Number boards and Ditch Left and Ditch Right LED's

(extra F functions on applicable DCC decoders).

Compatible with any DC power supply

Compatible with DCC decoders that use the standard 8-pin NMRA connection

M.T.H. HO SD70ACe & SD70M-2 Diesel Engine

Lights

As you read on, you'll notice there are no instructions for replacing light bulbs in

your diesel. That's because there aren't any. We use specially designed and

controlled LEDs to create realistic lighting effects that occur automatically. All

the lights for this model are LED’S (headlight, two number boards, two ditch

lights and a tailight) Again, NO PROGRAMMING!!

More…

No other HO locomotive has features like these. There are so many more things

to learn and enjoy about M.T.H. HO Engines, we could write a book. But, that's

no fun. So, if you haven't already done so, flip to the Quick Start Guide and let's

run your new engine!!

Removing the Body

Follow the below steps to remove the body and access the DCC ready control

tabs. You will need to remove 4

First remove the two in the front of the engine.

M.T.H. HO SD70ACe & SD70M-2 Diesel Engine

To access the front and rear body tabs you must first remove the

truck bottom plate and wheel sets. To do this:

1. Remove the truck bottom plate using a thin-bladed screwdriver. Once removed

note the orientation of the bottom plate. It only goes back on one way. The end

that has the angle cut into it goes towards the fuel tank

2. Using tweezers or needle-nose pliers, gently pull both truck sides outward to

release them from the wheels. NOTE - The pick-up wires are attached to the truck sides

so take care not to pull them out too far or the pick-up wires could be damaged

3. Lift all three wheel sets up. Note the gear location on each wheel set so they

can be re-installed correctly

Then remove the handrails on the left and right side front of the engine. You can

either remove the stanchions from the body or pop the handrail off the

stanchions. Use tweezers or needle-nose pliers to carefully perform this. To

prevent damaging the paint wrap the pliers or tweezer tips in masking tape. Take

care not to deform the handrail or break the handrail stanchions.

4. Using a small-bladed screwdriver gently push the tabs outward to release them

from the chassis

5. Now that you have the body tabs released gently lift the body away from the

chassis

6. Re-install the wheels sets into the front and rear trucks ensuring the gears mesh

7. push the truck side back over the wheels axles making sure each axle is in their

respective bearing

8. Snap the truck bottom plate back into place. NOTE - The truck side MUST BE

seated all the way towards the center of the truck because the truck bottom plate holds the truck

sides in place

9. Check that your truck sides are parallel to one another and that each wheel set

axle is seated in the bearing in the truck side. If one of the truck sides isn't

parallel then remove the truck bottom plate and ensure the truck side is pushed all

the way towards center and re-install the truck bottom plate. Again, the truck

bottom plate's angled end goes towards the fuel tank.

To re-install the body:

1. Slide the body over the chassis taking care not to catch it on the handrails you

removed earlier

2. Press down evenly on the front and rear of the top of the body to engage the

clips onto the chassis

3. If you have the body clipped to the chassis correctly you should be able to pick

the model up by the body

4. Re-install the handrails you removed earlier

Lubrication

Using light machine or household oil, apply a very small amount to all axles

points as shown.

Your gearbox is properly greased at the factory and probably never needs service

however, if you run excessive hours pulling heavy loads, it's a good idea to

remove the 2 screws from the gearbox cover and re-grease using M.T.H. gear

grease or equivalent.

FEATURES AND OPERATION

Now, for the fun stuff! Your new M.T.H. HO Diesel Engine has more features

and operating capabilities than any HO engine ever built by any manufacturer.

We're going to walk you through everything she does in general but, you'll

probably find a few we forgot to mention on your own.

Don’t worry. We’ve taken care of the hard part for you. Your MTH DCC Ready

engine already has the jumpers installed at the factory so all you have to do is set

it on the rails, apply DC power and away you go.

Conventional Operation Jumpers

Your MTH DCC Ready engine has pre-installed jumpers that allow for out-of-

the-box operation. However, you can remove these jumpers to change the

lighting to your liking. You can shut off the Ditch Lights or the Number Board

Lights by removing the jumpers on the engine's circuit board. Please refer to

Removing Jumpers in the DCC Operation section of this manual.

It is important to note that there two sets of jumpers that route track power to

your engine's motor. These must be installed when operating in Conventional DC

mode.

Couplers

MTH DCC Ready engine comes with Kadee-compatible couplers already

installed.

FEATURES AND OPERATION

Modes of Operation

Analog DC

This is when there is nothing connected to the rails except a conventional DC

power pack. These power packs generally have at least one variable output

controlled by a throttle of some sort and a means of reversing DC polarity on

the track to change the direction of your engine.

DCC

The user connects their DCC decoder of choice to the MTH DCC Ready

board's 8-pin header following the DCC decoder's manufacturer's instructions.

Analog DC

Not much explanation is required here, and that's exactly why you run your trains

this way! Here's the good news, even if you like to keep it simple, your MTH HO

engine is outfitted with lights, features, that you're going to love.

Running the Engine

Set the engine on the rails, and apply DC power. Refer to the Set-Up section of

this guide for instructions on how to lubricate the chassis.

As you increase power, at about 3 volts, the lights will come on and she'll move

out!

Changing Direction

Lighting

Continue increasing the voltage all the way to 16 volts DC for maximum

speed.

Reduce the throttle until the engine stops, flip the direction switch, and then

increase the throttle again.

Your model is equipped with a headlight, operating ditch lights, and number

board lights. In analog DC mode, lighting operation is fully automatic.
