Using your model train is easy. First, make sure you've selected the right power source. You can use either DC - Analog or DCC layouts as the engine is programmed to work with both. Just set up your track and connect the power, then use your control device to set the speed and direction. When handling the engine, be gentle as it's a fragile item. Don't try to force any parts or make adjustments without proper knowledge. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels for any signs of wear or debris. You can use a soft brush to clean the wheels and the body of the engine. If you notice any unusual noise or performance issues, stop using it and check for loose parts or potential damage. When storing the engine, keep it in its original box with the aftermarket foam to protect it from scratches and impacts. Remember, this is a special model, so take good care of it to enjoy its great features for a long time.
