Sorry if I’m on the wrong forum but don’t know where this should be. Just got a Lehmann Rigi Duo 9000 at a train show but no directions, anyone know what voltage to run it at, and ac or dc? And what are the three black knobs on the base for? Thanks for any help
14-18VAC powersupply, the knobs are for the speeds and the dwell time
do you mean the cars will spot at the end, stay there a bit and then take off again?
That’s what the descriptions mention.
Thanks HJ, seems this thing is even better than I thought, can’t wait for spring to get it in the garden

Way wait till Spring. Winter is just fun, especially with snow. 
Tryed that, built a plow and everything, used it twice, then put it on a shelf, too damm cold!!! lol
weatherman says 8" by Sunday, no cable car this weekend
Why wait until the Spring Dennis? I have mine setup in the house year round. It started as a Christmas thing 2 years ago but last year I just left it up. I have about a 20’ run that travels up to the second floor ceiling in our vaulted living room. (my wife is very understanding) It just took a trip tonight.
The first year I had it travelling behind the Christmas tree. Don’t wait to go outside.
i just picked up one of these from a flea market… anyone have a diagram for the three knobs?
There have been a few itterations of the RigiDuo, both a/c and d/c. IINM, the d/c units can wait at the station but an a/c unit will reverse directions as soon as the motor “stalls” when it gets to the station.
Ultimately, I found a pair of the Rigi cars for $5 and I used a 6 volt d/c motor/pulley and made a 555 reversing circuit similar to that which would be used for the trains. You could even adapt one of the commercally available reversing units adding a couple “bump” switches.
i suspect the three buttons control speed and delay, but that is just what i am assuming

Hello,
I’m new to this forum and scale modeling in general. Last year I picked up a Lehmann Rigi Duo 90013, which is of the DC version. The switch on the back toggles between ON and 2 speeds and there is also a small knob that allows you to adjust how long the car stays when it reaches the station - I believe 6 - 90 seconds.
I recently picked up one of the AC versions, which was designed for store displays and is far quieter and more robust than the 90013. With this said it does lack the ability to adjust the speed and there is no delay when the car reaches the station. I’m fine with the speed but 'd love to be able add delay. Is this possible? The post above seems to suggest so. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thx
Phil-
Info can be found with a google search for lgb 00900 pdf
First thing I saw waas the service diagram showing all the parts.
Also bottom of this doc is in English:
Thanks this is helpful for the 90013 but completely different than the unit I’m looking to tweak. Unfortunately the other unit has no controls on it. It’s an AC version 90012 and was designed for display in a hobby shop. Sadly they did not include any controls - just power on and go. I’d like to add delay when the car reaches the station and before it reverses. The member I’d quoted, Tom Brody, had suggested that this could be accomplished by adding a couple “bump switches”. Does this sound accurate? I did search google but have not come up with anything relevant for altering the 90012
