Using this HO scale locomotive is easy. First, make sure your track is clean and in good condition. Connect the locomotive to your DC or DCC power source. If you're using DC, you can use DCMaster for sound. For DCC, the built - in decoder will handle things smoothly. When operating, be aware that the minimum operating radius is 18 inches, so plan your track layout accordingly. As for maintenance, keep the locomotive clean. You can use a soft brush to remove dust from the body and wheels. If the electrical pick - up seems off, check the capacitor pack. Remember, the capacitor pack is automatically disabled on the program track for compatibility with JMRI Decoder Pro. When not in use, store the locomotive in a dry and safe place to avoid any damage to its delicate parts and beautiful paint job. Enjoy your realistic railroad experience with this amazing model!
