Using your Athearn Genesis SD60M Tri - Clops model train is easy. First, make sure you have the right power source, either DC or DCC depending on your setup. If you're using DCC, connect the locomotive to your DCC system using the 21 - pin NEM connector. In DCC mode, you can access full functions like controlling the engine, horn, and bell sounds. In DC mode, basic engine, horn, and bell sounds also work. When setting up your track, remember the minimum radius is 18 inches, but a 22 - inch radius is recommended for better operation. As for maintenance, keep the locomotive clean. You can use a soft brush to remove dust from the wheels, handrails, and other parts. Check the electrical connections regularly to ensure reliable current flow. Store the model in its original packaging to protect it from damage. And that's it! Enjoy your model train and let it bring the fun of railroads to your collection.
