Before operating your Piko 59137 model, ensure your railway layout meets the minimum requirements and that the power supply is correctly configured.
2.1 Track Requirements

2.3 Digital Decoder Setup
The Piko 59137 comes with a factory-equipped 8-pole sound decoder, compatible with the NEM 652 digital interface. If you are using a digital control system, place the model on the powered track. Your digital command station should automatically detect the decoder or allow you to assign an address. Refer to your digital command station's manual for specific programming instructions.
3. Instruccions de funcionament
Once the model is correctly set up on the tracks and connected to power, you can begin operation.

Use your DC power pack's throttle or digital controller to control the speed and direction of the railcar. Increase the voltage gradually for smooth acceleration.
3.2 Sound Functions
The integrated PIKO sound decoder provides realistic diesel engine sounds and other operational noises. For digital systems, these functions are typically mapped to specific function buttons (F-keys) on your controller. Consult your digital controller's manual for the exact mapping of sound functions.
3.3 Funcions d'il·luminació
The model features direction-dependent white/red light changes. The headlights will illuminate white in the direction of travel, and the taillights will illuminate red in the opposite direction.

3.4 Multiple Traction
