Using your HO scale OMI P&LE RS - 3 model is easy. If you have a DCC - equipped layout, simply connect it to your Digitrax DCC system and you're good to go. It can also operate on DC/Analog layouts, so you have flexibility. When it comes to lighting, the headlight and backup light will automatically turn on as the model moves forward or backward. For handling, always hold it by the body to avoid damaging the couplers or trucks. Kadee couplers are delicate, so be gentle when attaching or detaching other cars. In terms of maintenance, keep it clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust. Check the wheels regularly for any debris that might affect its operation. Since it's a brass model, avoid exposing it to moisture for long periods as it may cause corrosion. If you notice any unusual noise or issues with the motor, it's best to have it checked by a professional. Remember to store it in its original box and foam when not in use to protect it from damage.
