Thanks, Mike

I appreciate your help

Take the pantograph off.  Set the locomotive direction so that that pantograph would be up.  Squeeze the pan down and snap it on the post.

Did you unsnap the pantograph from the securing post before you began operation?

Many thanks, DanR. Yes, Milwrd, I unsnapped the pans prior to operation and made sure the switch underneath was set to "Pans on." When I hit direction, I can see the mechanism below the pans moving. I think I can set them correctly. Thanks to you both.

DanR, since this is a multiple unit loco, I assume the pan up would be the rear unit, yes?

I don’t have that locomotive, so I can’t really say anything beyond probably.  Try it.  If it doesn’t work reverse the locomotive and do it.

Alternatively, you can use the softkey MOP.  Press the center button to MANUAL and raise front and rear pans.  Snap your pans on then press MOP and select AUTO.
