Since it has Kadee couplers on both the pilot and tender, it's easy to attach other cars. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the wheels for any signs of wear. Although the wheel wear is currently minimal, keeping an eye on it will ensure smooth operation. If you notice the gearbox noise getting louder, you might want to give it a gentle cleaning.
