Using this model is easy. First, make sure you have the right power source for the DCC or DC mode you want to use. If you're using the DCC mode, set the address to '03' as programmed. You can then control the locomotive's movement, sound, and lighting functions according to the list included with the model (check the photos for details). When it comes to lighting, enjoy the headlight, backup light, class lamps, cab light, and the cool firebox flicker. For maintenance, keep an eye on the wheel wear, which is currently minimal. Wipe the model gently with a soft cloth to keep it clean. Avoid rough handling as the model is fragile, especially since it's made of brass.
