This model features a coreless motor with dual flywheels, ensuring smooth side-rod operation at any speed, even a slow crawl. It has inside bearing wheels where appropriate and a special articulated undercarriage on the unique 14-wheel tender, allowing it to navigate 11' 282mm radius curves. The FEF-3 also has a factory-installed DCC decoder for use on DCC layouts. Note that pictures may show a different road number.

Using this Kato N scale model train is easy. First, make sure your DCC layout is set up correctly. You can use the factory-installed DCC decoder to control the train on the layout. For speed control, adjust the settings on your DCC controller to make the train move at your desired pace. When it comes to curves, thanks to the special articulated undercarriage on the tender, the locomotive can smoothly navigate 11' 282mm radius curves. Just place the train on the track and let it go. As for maintenance, keep the train clean. You can use a soft brush to gently remove any dust or debris from the locomotive and tender. Avoid getting the electrical parts wet. If you notice any issues with the motor or the operation, check the connections on the DCC decoder. Also, remember that the pictures may show a different road number, so don't be surprised if the actual model has a different number than what you see in the photos.
