K-LINE K2438-0857CC TRAINMASTER

Does anyone out there have an owners manual for this engine?

I'll be happy to pay for any costs wether printed or PDF.

I just don't like running any of my engines without a manual.

Thanks

Just checked my files.  I have a copy of the instructions you are looking for.  Unfortuitly, these must have been printed as K-Line was going down the tubes as a lot of lines of text are trunkated, or the last several words are missing. I can snail mail a hard copy.  I also have a Diesel Locomotive Instruction sheet that looks like it is more generic, but is more complete and understandable.

Send me your address and I will put copies of both in the mail to you.

Please allow me to interject something that will improve this beautiful engine 100% (IMHO). Wire the double motors in series.  This will slow the engine down from its jack-rabbit tendencies, triple the smoke output, and brighten the headlight even at slow speeds.  These Trainmasters (mine is Lackawanna) are the best on the market!  Good luck - and send some pictures!

Hello,

I'd be really appreciative if I could get a copy of the manuals too.  I bought one of these 857CC Trainmasters on eBay and big surprise, it didn't come with a manual.  This is my first TMCC loco and although I will be running it in conventional mode, I want to be sure I am not damaging anything.

Thanks in advance!
