Thank you for your choice of the Bachmann Branchline Midland Pullman diesel electric multiple unit. General The mechanism of this model requires running in for approximately half an hour in each direction at moderate speed to allow the gear train to bed in. When required, sparingly lubricate the motor bearings using plastic compatible light oil and the gear train with model grease. Bachmann Branchline trains are not suitable for use on track tighter than second radius (18 inches). Body removal The power car body is secured by 4 screws as indicated on the diagram right. Take care to avoid damage to the underfloor equipment details. DCC Decoder This model has a 21-pin mtc connector for a decoder in each power car and is supplied fitted with decoders. If removing a decoder and replacing with a DC blanking plug note that the decoder or blanking plug fits so that the black contact block is uppermost. (See diagram on page 2) Control of lights with DCC When using a decoder with the appropriate number of function outputs, the onboard lights can be controlled as follows: F0 - Directional lights and internal lights turned on / off F1 - table lights turned on / off F2 - cab lights turned on / off Order of cars The cars of the unit must be arranged in the order shown - the cars are labelled ‘A’ to ‘F’ on their sides. It may be preferable to connect each half “A” / “B” / “C” and “D” / “E” / “F” together and then join the two halves together on the track There is no electrical connection between the two halves of the train The unit can be run as a shorter train by omitting cars “B” or “E” Coupling / Uncoupling Cars - use the tool provided to assist both coupling and uncoupling Location of the power car body securing screws Programming DCC decoder It may be necessary to program each half train separately on a programming track if the command station cannot do both at the same time Running on a DC layout We recommend a smooth DC controller (not feedback) Do not use with an electronic track cleaner If necessary remove DCC decoders and replace with the included blanking plugs Coupling tip i Connect each half train together - A/B/C and D/E/F and locate on track ii Use coupling tool as a support behind coupling (“1”) and carefully push cars together Uncoupling tip To uncouple: insert coupling tool into clip of coupling and twist to release 1 Watch a video on the Midland Pullman model at www.bachmann.co.uk (available to view at time of model release) A B B C C D D E E F

Order of carsThe cars of the unit must be arranged in the ordershown - the cars are labelled ‘A’ to ‘F’ on their sides. Itmay be preferable to connect each half “A” / “B” / “C”and “D” / “E” / “F” together and then join the two halvestogether on the track
There is no electrical connection between the twohalves of the trainThe unit can be run as a shorter train by omitting cars“B” or “E”
Coupling / Uncoupling Cars - use the tool provided toassist both coupling and uncoupling

Programming DCC decoder
It may be necessary to program each half trainseparately on a programming track if the commandstation cannot do both at the same time
Running on a DC layoutWe recommend a smooth DC controller (not feedback)Do not use with an electronic track cleanerIf necessary remove DCC decoders and replace withthe included blanking plugs
Coupling tipi Connect each half train together - A/B/C and D/E/F and locate on trackii Use coupling tool as a support behind coupling (“1”) and
carefully push cars together
Uncoupling tipTo uncouple: insert coupling tool into clip of coupling and twist torelease
