Using this Athearn HO scale locomotive is a breeze. Just place it on your track and power it up. If you're using DCC, you can control its functions like speed, horn, and bell with your DCC controller. For DC operation, the engine, horn, and bell sounds will still work. When storing the locomotive, keep it in its original packaging to protect it from damage. As for maintenance, gently clean the locomotive with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Check the wheels and gears regularly for any debris that might affect its smooth operation. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the model. Remember, the minimum radius for operation is 18 inches, but a 22 - inch radius is recommended for the best performance.
