Operating Instructions
1. Operating the Locomotives

- Red Push-Along Locomotive: This locomotive is manually operated. Push it along the track to move it.
Image Description: The red locomotive is positioned between two grey cargo wagons. Red arrows point left and right, illustrating that the train can be pushed in either direction along the track.
2. Using the Loading Cranes
The two loading cranes allow for interactive cargo handling.
- Rotation: Turn the red knob on the side of the crane to rotate the crane arm 360 degrees.
- Lifting/Lowering: The crane arm can be manually moved up and down to lift or lower cargo.
- Magnetic Attachment: The crane's hook is magnetic, allowing it to pick up and move magnetic cargo pieces (e.g., containers).
Image Description: A yellow loading crane is shown on a wooden base, positioned next to a track. Curved red arrows indicate the crane arm's ability to rotate, while vertical red arrows show its capacity to lift and lower a grey cargo piece.
3. Cargo Handling
Use the cranes to load and unload cargo from the wagons and the truck. The cargo pieces are designed to fit securely onto the wagons.
Image Description: A wooden truck with a red cab and a light brown bed is depicted. A curved red arrow indicates that the truck's bed can tilt upwards, simulating the action of unloading cargo.
4. Interactive Accessories
- Signals: Manually rotate the signal arm to indicate stop (red) or go (green) for trains.
- Level Crossing: Raise and lower the barriers at the level crossing to control road and rail traffic.
