I am having a hard time raising the pantographs on my 39365. Does anyone have any tips on how to raise the pantographs on the locomotive?
Many thanks

You have the manual? Description of digital functions doesn't list the pantographs.

I have the manual, I know that they are not controlled digitally. They are just very tricky to raise. I cant seem to "loosen" them from the clips that hold them in place and I was wondering if anyone knows a good way of doing it. They seem to be very fragile and I would prefer not to damage them.

Not sure if it works with that loco but the only one I had that was electric needed you to push down on the top of the pantograph to release it.

As far as I know, this model has the same pantographs as previous Ae 6/6 models. There are two little clips on the pantograph frame which hold the wiper in the down position. The pantograph can be released by manipulating it from side to side. Once you have freed one side, pull it back but make sure that the pin part does not slip back in between the clips on the side. This will free the other side and the pantograph will pop up.

Regards

Some are just difficult to unlock or re lock down.
