Using your Athearn Genesis SD60M Tri - Clops locomotive is easy. First, if you're using a DCC system, connect the locomotive to your DCC controller using the 21 - pin NEM connector. The locomotive can also operate in DC mode. In DC, basic functions like the engine, horn, and bell sounds will work. When in DCC mode, you have access to full DCC functions. To get the best sound experience, make sure the dual cube speakers are properly installed. For maintenance, keep the locomotive clean. You can use a soft brush to remove dust from the wheels, handrails, and other parts. Check the couplers regularly to ensure they're working smoothly. Store the locomotive in its original packaging when not in use to protect it. Remember, the minimum radius for operation is 18 inches, but a 22 - inch radius is recommended for better performance.
