Does anyone have the manual, and if so can you advise if it can be used on an analog layout? I realize the functions may be limited, but the livery would go nicely with my 4291/2/3 consist. And then I have to decide if I want one badly enough...$!

Hi CCranium I can't find the manual either The protocol is Motorola 1 (NOT MM2) and uses the Motorola chip MC45027 Its fatory address is 20 The fonctions are: - F0: not used - F1: illumination - F2: Dancers in action Combination F3 & F4 - F3 OFF & F4 OFF Music off - F3 OFF & F4 ON Play next music - F3 ON & F4 OFF Play music - F3 ON & F4 ON Play all music pieces in sequence I may be wrong but the car won't play anything nor be illuminated in analogue mode. Testing this is OK but avoid the overvoltage direction change on such a valuable collector piece I suggest if the car remain dark, no music no dancing that you remove the slider and use the car as is. The best info I could gather is here http://www.web-hgh.de/p03_maedig_fkt_so-4998.htm Here it is in operation with some glimpses of the manual Cheers Jean

I don't know the catalogue number off hand, but it should be in a catalogue before the 4998 was issued. They do periodically appear on ebay, and I presume whatever other second hand bazaars that are in your part of the world.
