Using this model is easy. Since it's a DCC - only model, make sure your layout is set up for DCC operation. The decoder is addressed to #143, so you'll need to use this address to control it. When running the model, you can enjoy the realistic sound from the TCS Wow! Sound decoder. As for maintenance, keep an eye on the wheel wear. Since there's already some plating wear, be gentle when handling and operating it. Wipe the model regularly to keep the paint and details looking good. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity as it can damage the brass and the electronic components. If you need to store it, use the original box and foam to protect it.
