How to use it
Place the locomotive on OO gauge track and operate using a compatible DC analogue controller for basic layout running. For digital control, install a suitable 6‑pin DCC decoder before use. Ensure track and wheels are clean for smooth operation and verify couplings are aligned with other rolling stock. When not in use, store safely to protect paint and detailing.
