Using your HO scale Van Hobbies Canadian Pacific Railway 0 - 6 - 0 U - 3e Switcher is easy. First, connect it to an analog DC power source. Then, turn on the power and watch it run. It's that simple! When handling the model, be gentle as it's a fragile item. Avoid dropping or hitting it. If you notice any parts coming loose, use the included side rod wrench and spare parts to fix them. For maintenance, it's a good idea to clean the wheels regularly to keep the operation smooth. You can use a soft cloth for this. Also, every now and then, like we did recently, remove the old gearbox grease and apply new grease. This will keep the motor and gearbox running well and reduce noise. When shipping, we've packed it really well, but once you receive it, store it in a safe place, preferably in the original box. And remember, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, let us know within 30 days and we'll make it right.
