  • ARISTO-CRAFT TRAINS LIVE STEAM MIKADO 2-8-2, WWW.ARISTOCRAFT.COM4  Live Steam Trains should not be used by anyone under the age of 14. This is not a toy, and while not any more dangerous then the use of a stove while boiling water for a cup of tea, it does take some common sense and the ability to make rational actions if something doesn’t work as prescribed.  Hot water is scalding and must be treated as such, so do not open a pressurized locomotive water tank until it has cooled sufficiently. To do so would create a reac- tion much like opening an auto’s radiator cap under full pressure. DON’T do this.  Do not smoke when filling th

There is an included wall pack that must be plugged into a wall outlet first and has a jack plug to insert into a hidden receptacle jack beneath the cylindrical coal pusher on the top of the tender that unscrews (See fig. #1). First remove the decorative coal load on top of the tender, revealing the control panel underneath it. Then move the leftmost slide switch with the tender facing away from you to the “charger” position and then plug the charger lead into the battery charging con- nection power jack as illus

Always make sure to monitor the water levels of your Live Steam Mikado as you can seriously damage your unit if you run it dry. Please check the sight glass to make sure the water level is no more than two-thirds filled. If you have added too much water or a residual amount had remained, causing an overfill, the drain cock valve should be used to bring the water in the boiler to a correct level (See fig. #13). Adding Water (continued )

The warm water needs to be filled in to the warm water bath area with a funnel after removing the screw in the corner of the depression at the front of the tender, near the butane insert nozzle (See fig. #15). Filling The Butane Gas Tank (continued) Reinserting the screw is optional, but if you are going to transport the tender without draining the water from the side cock, then you need to reinsert the screw and close it u

  • ARISTO-CRAFT TRAINS LIVE STEAM MIKADO 2-8-2, WWW.ARISTOCRAFT.COM8 To begin the function testing process, link the plug in front of the tender to the socket at the end of the wire coming from the rear of the locomotive (See fig. #3). This allows all of the R/C and electronic functions from the control panel of the tender to function in a manual mode without the use of the transmitter.

Please write to us for spares rather than continue to operate without O-rings in top shape.  Please check you loco after 30 minutes of running to see that the water level in the sight glass still indicates that you have sufficient w
