As I recall, none of the RoW locomotives came with a manual.
Regarding your loco, it was the first one from RoW. It was one of 250 pieces. It has digital whistle, bell, chuff and neutral sounds. It also has an LED flickering firebox. The smoke unit is from Seuthe so be sure to use the Seuthe smoke fluid; it is thinner than water. And the bulbs are 1.5V grain of rice. It was built by Ajin Precision of Seoul Korea.

thank you so much.Is seuthe smoke fluid readily available?is there any other information I should know of?so I am going to guess lionel smoke fluid is a no-no
@Lou_N,
You should publish a book on ROW or at least some kind of reference manual.
You have a wealth of knowledge that would be very helpful to many ROW users.
I owned one of those years ago. Very nice. Sound was way ahead of what was available back then.

Thanks. Those were the first digital sounds from real equipment.
We had some interesting adventures going on a quest for sounds. I used my wife's old battery powered cassette player and an IBM 386. The sound was 8 bit clocking at 8kHz. Certainly not what we have today.
We had a good time in Orville Ohio one Sunday morning when Rich Melvin was prepping 765 for an excursion run.

Lou, Could you please share any details you can recall about the Chesapeake & Ohio 0-4-0 with the Baltimore & Ohio green Railway Express Agency boxcar with sounds? Thank you, John

Use LGB smoke fluid. Their engines also were equipped with Seuthe smoke units

The loco had a 4 pin socket that connected ground, motor, and chuff data to the sound system in the boxcar. The chuff connection is obvious and the motor connections instructed the sound system to stop the neutral sounds (air pumps) and listen for a chug signal. Does that help?

Lou N, That is exactly what i wanted to know. Thank you very much. John in Lansing, ILL
