Frequently asked questions

How do you install batteries into the wireless controller?

Use a Phillips Head screwdriver, have an adult loosen the screw on the battery compartment cover, and install 2 'AA' Alkaline batteries. Ensure the +/- of each battery is positioned properly, replace the cover, and tighten the screw.

How do you connect the engine and coal tender?

Place the engine on the track and be sure all wheels are within the track rails. Insert the power plug into the receptacle in the center back of the engine platform, then place the coal tender on the track behind the engine and connect the couplers.

How should the track be assembled and cleaned?

Join track sections by placing them on a flat surface and inserting the plastic tabs of each track section into the corresponding openings. Press or squeeze the ties together, and clean the track periodically with a clean soft cloth.
