Safety
Warnings
- Don‘t throw your box in the dustbin. If your model is not in use this box will keep it safe. If kits are mounted on a wagon it will be slightly tight when placing it in the original box. This guarantees safe transport. It is therefore recommended to cut out certain parts of the original box. To keep the model like the original, smaller parts (e.g. buffers) had been manufactured separately from the body and are not tightly fixed on it. Therefore they probably can get lost. In this case you certainly may reorder them but a complaint would not be acceptable.
- Please retain these instructions for further reference!
- Safety instructions: This product may only be used in closed rooms. Do not expose the model to direct sunlight, severe temperature fluctuations or high air humidity.
- Attention! At an incorrect use there exists danger of hurting because of cutting edgesand tips

Maintenance of the model
To enjoy your model for a long time, it is necessary to service it regulary (i.e. after it has been in operation for approximately 30 hours). Uncouple locomotive and tender first (fig. 6).

Cleaning of wheel contacts: Wheel contacts easily get dirty on tracks which are not entirely clean. Use a small brush to remove dirt from spots marked in fig. 11.
