Using your HO scale brass locomotive is easy. First, make sure you have a DCC - Digital layout as this model only works on such setups. Power on your layout and set the DCC address to 1249. You'll then enjoy the smooth operation of the locomotive and the great sound from the TCS Wow! Sound system. When it comes to maintenance, keep an eye on the wheels. Since the wheel wear is minimal, you won't need to do much, but occasional cleaning can keep it running at its best. For the motor, avoid over - stressing it. If you notice any unusual noise (right now it's very quiet), turn off the power and check. The custom - painted finish is in great condition, but try to keep it away from sharp objects to prevent scratches. When storing, use the original box and foam to protect it. And remember, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, you have 30 days to return it, though you'll be responsible for return shipping unless the item arrived damaged.
