DB Electric Loco, 101 111-3
THE PROTOTYPE
Between 1997 and 1999, the
Deutsche Bahn AG (German Railroad
Company) purchased a total of 145
modern class 101 electric locos. This
finalized the conversion of long-dis-
tance operations from conventional
electric locos to three-phase high
performance locomotives. Since
their introduction, the smooth-sided
class 101 have taken over almost all
of the premium loco-hauled Intercity
and Eurocity trains. As a modern
multi-purpose locomotive, the class
101 also is suitable for freight traffic.
On the high speed lines, it can be
found hauling premium freight
trains.
Technical Specifications:
Continuous power output:
6400 KW (8704 HP)
Top speed: 220 km/h (138 mph)
Total weight: 84 tons
Length overall: 19.1 m (62.7 ft)

THE PROGRAM
This LGB model is part of the com-
plete LGB program of more than 600
quality G-scale trains, track sections
and accessories. To learn more about
the many other products in the LGB
program, see the big LGB catalog or
visit www.lgb.com
OPERATION
Buffer Location
Different from most LGB locos, this
model is equipped with two buffers
for "standard gauge" rolling stock. To
use the model with LGB "narrow
gauge" rolling stock, a separate
buffer beam with a central buffer is
included (Fig. 6).
When replacing the buffer beam, also
move the multi-purpose socket to its
correct location.
Operating Modes
This model can be operated with
track power or with power from an
LGB catenary system. There are two
power control switches located
inside the cab with the engineer (Fig.
2). Use the upper switch to select
track or catenary power (Fig. 3):
Position U: track power (factory pre-
set)
Position O: catenary power
Use the lower switch to control park-
ing and lighting options (Fig. 2, 4):
Position 0: All power off
Position 1: Power to front and rear
lights only
Position 2: Power to motors and
lights
Position 3: Same as position 2
(factory pre-set)
Attention: Do not connect this model
to other loco models with different
starting characteristics. This can
damage the internal gearing.
Multi-Train System
The model is equipped with a facto-
ry-installed onboard decoder for the
LGB Multi-Train System. It can be
used without modifications on ana-
log or digital layouts. For operation
with the Multi-Train System, the
model is programmed to loco
address 03. For information on pro-
gramming the loco address, see the
instructions for various MTS compo-
nents.
When operating with the Multi-Train
System, you can control the loco's
functions remotely. Press the light-
ing button ("9" with remotes) to turn
the loco lights on or off.
When operating with the Multi-Train
System, the loco features a "Back-
EMF" function. This keeps the motor
speed constant (and under normal
conditions the loco speed), even
when the load of the loco changes,
for example, in curves or on grades.
This feature does not work at top
speed, because additional voltage
must be available to overcome any
added load.
If desired, numerous functions of the
onboard decoder, such as accelera-
tion, braking, direction of travel and
many others, can be programmed
using a PC and the 55045 MTS PC
Decoder Programming Module (see
Instructions for advanced users).
These functions also can be pro-
grammed from the 55015 Universal
Remote.
Lighting
This model has automatic directional
lanterns on the front and the rear of
the loco: three white lanterns on the
front and two red lanterns on the
rear.
This model has "flat" multi-purpose
sockets, with removable covers, on
the front and rear buffer beams.
These sockets can be used to pro-
vide track power to cars with lighting
or sound electronics.
To remove the cover of the socket,
pull it straight out. If the cover is
tight, gently use a small straight
screwdriver to pry it out. (Do not pull
out the rectangular outer housing.)
Sound
To equip this model with sound, we
recommend the following products:
- 65004 European Electric Loco
Sound Unit
- 65011 Sound Unit Power Storage
The 65011 is not needed when oper-
ating with the LGB Multi-Train Sys-
tem.
If there is not enough space inside
the locomotive or if you prefer not to
disassemble the loco, you can place
the Sound Unit in a freight or pas-
senger car and connect it to the loco-
motive via the multi-purpose socket.
Power Supply
Attention! For safety and reliability,
operate this model with LGB power
supplies (transformers, power packs
and controls) only. The use of non-
LGB power supplies will void your
warranty.
Use this model with LGB power sup-
plies with an output of more than 1
amp. For more information on LGB
power supplies for indoor, outdoor
