How to use it

For DC models, place the box car on a powered track, ensuring the axles are correctly aligned for smooth operation. It can be coupled with other HO rolling stock using the standard couplings. For DCC operation, a decoder must be installed separately, as this model is not DCC-ready. Regularly clean the track and check the couplings for proper connection to ensure reliable performance. The model is ready to run and requires no assembly.
