Quick Start Guide
When a train locomotive is spawned in, the hydrogen engines and the electric motors are turned off, the brake (wheels) is on.

1. On the back wall of the cab is a button panel. Press the green button labeled “Engine Startup” to turn on the hydrogen engines and electric motors.
2. Sit in engineers seat
3. Release Brakes (Set 1-4)
4. Increase throttle to move forward (Set 1-3) or reverse (Set 1-1)

With the exception of the location of the handbrake (magnetic block) button and the possibility of beacon or remote control activation button on the back wall of cab, all locomotives are set up the same.

In the case of two locomotives attached in one blueprint with hinges and rotors, both engines have to be turned on separately. Throttle, brakes (wheels), and guide wheel traction are controlled from either engineers seat. Handbrake (magnetic block) buttons work on both locomotives but operate a single shared magnetic block.
