Reply to "Operating Instruction Manual for a MTH 20-2030LP"

Thanks John.  This will help,....... I think. An initial reading of the 25 pages or so, indicates a very complicated system of operation, apparently using the MTH controls and transformer.  Neither of which I have.  Trying to set things to my liking will require an understanding of things like, Preset 23, 27, 40 etc., clanks, clinks, PFA (passenger sounds I think) Proto couplers, Squeaking Brakes, Engine Volume, Battery Changing, and something called a DCRU Reverse Unit.  My lord.  All I want to do is get my locomotive to run forward, and it could even stay that way, but I'll have to re-read the correct portions to figure out how. To further complicate things, my tender does not have a volume screw, nor an on off switch.  There is a rectangular hole for one, but no switch. There IS a switch under the trailing truck on the engine, which I think is for the smoke unit, if memory serves me right.  But I thank you just the same.  I now have a much better understanding of what I face to figure out how to make it work, and have printed out all the instructions.
