WWW.ARISTOCRAFT.COM1 Locomotive Features & Accessories This locomotive has the following features and accessories which makes it look and operate in a superior manner: • An integrated radio control system for speed control, reversing, and to activate several sound effects and front lights. This R/C system operates on the universally accepted 49-mhz frequency and is FCC-approved in the U.S. • A well for a warm water bath for the butane gas. • Auto-ignition for the flame using the tender control panel. • Easy-to-use-and-find butane fuel. • Wide-mouth oil access. (Oil not included) • D.C. electric motors for radio-controlled reverse and speed controls. • Two wall chargers for both 110v or 230v depending on the country where you are located. An adaptor plug may be necessary for your country if the supplied plug will not fit your receptacle. • A NiC_d battery pack to operate these electronic functions. • Tools such as two syringes for filling and removing the steam oil, a metal funnel to fill the boiler and butane bath, two metal screwdrivers for the live steamer locomo- tive adjusments and others. • Insulated wheels for running on powered layouts with other locos. • A Goodall valve and water bottle to refill the boiler under pressure before the water cools. WWW.ARISTOCRAFT.COM2 •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 the butane into the tender. This is a flammable material and is similar to the situation when relighting a gas stove burner when the pilot light goes out. •Use only distilled water, available at supermarkets and drugstores widely, as regu- lar water has contaminates that could eat away at your copper boiler. This is espe- cially true if you do not thoroughly drain the water from the boiler after each use. The Aristo-Craft Live Steamer has a drain cock to allow you to do just that. •Do not tighten the hose to the boiler of the locomotive prior to adding the butane material to the input in the tender. Also insure that the butane valve on the tender is closed before adding butane. •Do not use boiling water in the supplemental hot water bath for the butane tank. It’s not necessary and could cause handling problems with the scalding water. If you like you can drain this hot bath water after steam-up and before you actually begin running. This will provide a fresh hot water bath for the running period after the water has reached the starting pressure. •Do not run your loco without proper steam oil that is formulated for the super-hot conditions of running a steam locomotive. This is not included, but is available from where you purchased your loco. •Do not overfill your boiler beyond the two cups of distilled water (500 ml total). Live Steam Operation Safety Please read all of these warnings very carefully before using your Aristo-Craft Live Steam Mikado for the first time! WWW.ARISTOCRAFT.COM3 •If your auto-igniter does not cause the flame to ignite and the butane container is filled, then send the loco in for service and do not try to adjust the flame yourself. •We have added spare O-rings that you can replace if the steam releases through those valves. 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 water in the boiler. DO NOT RUN YOUR LOCO WITHOUT WATER IN THE BOILER. •If your loco falls off the track, then immediately close the butane valve until all butane flow is off and the flame thus shuts off. •Do not use this loco indoors. It’s only for outdoor usage as there is residual oil and water that falls to the track. •Any modification of the loco will void our warranty and perhaps the safety of the loco. Do not modify the loco at all for proper safety. Live Steam Operation Safety (continued) WWW.ARISTOCRAFT.COM4 Locomotive History The Mikado 2-8-2 steam locomotive was one of the most common of the steam locomotives built and used in the United States and Canada. It was a workhorse, a locomotive that could do it all. Primarily used in freight operations, it was occasionally employed in passenger service, right up to the end of steam operations. Large and small railroads operated Mikado…
