Using your MTH Mike's Train House Halloween ES44AC locomotive is a breeze. First, choose your control method - you can use DC, DCS (MTH's special control system), or regular DCC. Make sure your track is clean and in good condition, and the locomotive will run smoothly on Code 70, 83, or 100 track. When you power it on, enjoy the spooky lighting effects like the underbody charging lights and the prototypical Rule 17 lighting. You can control the speed in scale MPH increments. Here are some things to keep in mind. Avoid touching the metal parts when the locomotive is running to prevent any electrical issues. If you're using the detachable snow plow, make sure it's properly attached before running the train. For maintenance, clean the metal wheels and axles regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep the locomotive running quietly. Check the couplers to ensure they're working well for smooth connections between cars. Store the locomotive in its original box when not in use to protect it from dust and damage. And always follow the safety instructions in the owner's manual.
