Using your HO scale brass model train is easy. First, make sure your layout is set up correctly. You can operate this locomotive on both DCC and DC - Analog layouts. If you're using DCC, the SoundTraxx Tsunami2 will give you a great sound experience. Just turn on the power and watch it run smoothly on the tracks. When it comes to maintenance, keep an eye on the wheels. Since the wheel wear is minimal, you won't have to worry too much, but regular cleaning can help keep it in top shape. Wipe the wheels gently with a soft cloth to remove any dirt or debris. For the motor, make sure it's not over - heated during long runs. If you notice the motor/gearbox noise getting louder, it might be a sign that it needs some attention. When storing the locomotive, keep it in the original box to protect it from dust and damage. And remember, it's a fragile item, so handle it with care. If you have any problems or questions, don't hesitate to contact us.
