I got stuck in both fingers when wobbling the panto side to side. Now I know why Marklin does not want anyone under 15 to use their trains, especially the electrics! With the 103's I think the convention is to pull the panto towards the front of the lok and wobble at the same time, or maybe without the wobble. But with the Kroc;s I used to just wobble them. Anyway, will someone please give a tutorial on raising pantographs. by type of models. Thank you in advance. gene
