Using this ATLAS Trainman N Scale locomotive model is easy. First, make sure your power supply is set to the right voltage for the standard DC operation. Connect the locomotive to the tracks and turn on the power. You can control its forward and reverse movement through the power supply. When handling the locomotive, be gentle to avoid damaging the delicate parts like the couplers. As for maintenance, regularly clean the wheels with a soft, dry cloth to ensure good electrical contact. Keep the locomotive in a dry and dust - free place when not in use. If you plan to upgrade to DCC operation, it's ready for that, but you may need to consult a professional for the installation.
