RMT Buddy speed control switch | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I misplaced the instructions that came with this engine. I really don't know what the fast parallel switch vs normal really does. I just want to pull 3 or 4 cars with it without overloading the engine.

Any help on this is appreciated.

Thanks

George

To run in parallel is to run slower speeds much like wireing a locomotive in parallel. RMT basically did it for you with the flip of a switch. You won't even come close to overloading it with 3 or 4 cars. The unit is dual motored with traction tires.

It's actually the other way around - parallel fast, series slow.

vallione...By word BUDDY do you mean the powered RDC car?

BEEP is mini EMD GP-7 diesel

BANG is Alco S-4 switcher

BEEF is mini EMD A unit diesel

Also, there is no individual instruction sheet per se, each of above have instructions printed on bottom panel of each respective box.

Hope this helps.
