Operating Instructions

Powering the Train

  • The Turbo Thomas motorized train requires 2 AAA batteries (not included).
  • Insert batteries into the train according to the polarity markings.

Basic Operation

  • Place the Turbo Thomas train on the track.
  • Turn on the train using the switch located on its underside.
  • The train will begin to move along the track layout.

Using Booster Tracks for Speed Control

The set features two Booster Tracks that allow you to control the speed of the Turbo Thomas train.

  • To activate "Turbo" mode: Flip the switch on a Booster Track so the color turns green. When Thomas passes over this track, he will launch into Turbo mode, traveling up to 2.5 times faster than standard TrackMaster engines.
  • To return to normal speed: Send Thomas over a Booster Track while its switch is set to yellow. This will slow him down from Turbo mode.
