Using this WalthersProto GP35 is easy. First, check your layout type (DCC or DC) and make sure the locomotive's DCC and sound settings match. You can operate it on its own or connect multiple units for a more impressive train. When handling, be gentle with the small details like the handbrake and lift rings. For maintenance, keep it clean. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the body and wheels regularly. If you notice any dust in the radiator or fans, use a can of compressed air to blow it out. Store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If you're not using it for a long time, consider removing the batteries (if applicable) to avoid corrosion.
