Using this model train is quite straightforward. Since it has a Digitrax DCC installed, make sure you have a DCC system set up to operate it. Just connect it to your DCC system and start running it on your tracks. When it comes to handling, be gentle as it's a delicate model, especially the brass parts. Keep it away from sharp objects to avoid nicks and scratches. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels. If you notice excessive dirt or debris on the wheels, use a soft cloth to clean them. Also, since the plating on the wheels is worn, try not to subject them to rough handling. If you're storing the model, put it back in the original box and foam to protect it. Remember, the headlight doesn't work, so don't be alarmed if it doesn't light up. If you have any issues during use, don't hesitate to contact us for support.
