Is "1218" the LGB Part Number that is stamped underneath the locomotive or is that the engine number printed on the side of the locomotive cab?

LGB engine 1218
Posted by timike72 on Friday, December 23, 2011 11:37 AM

I have an LGB engine ( 1218) Gscale  that does not run well. It seams to draw alot of power and not pull much besides itself. The drivers seam to be somewhat stiff. It has a circuit board in the shell. Is this a DCC type engine? What type of transformer should be used to power this engine? Does anyone have any service notes / diagrams to share of this engine? Thank you for your help.
