Using your HO scale brass Union Pacific No. 51 Gas Turbine Locomotive is easy. First, make sure it's connected to a compatible analog DC power source. Once connected, slowly increase the power to start the locomotive running. Since it has significant motor/drive noise, don't be alarmed; it's normal for this model. When it comes to maintenance, keep the wheels clean to ensure smooth operation. Periodically check the drive tube and gearbox for any signs of wear. If you notice any issues, it might be time for another service like the one it had recently. Store the locomotive in its original box to protect it from dust and damage. When shipping, know that we've packed it very securely, but still handle it with care during transit. And remember, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can take advantage of our 30 - day money - back policy.
