Use this Owner’s Manual to learn how to set up, operate, and maintain your train set for 

years of reliable operation. 

The transformer included with this set should be periodically 
examined for conditions that may result in the risk of fire, 
electric shock, or injury to persons (such as damage to the 
output cord, blades, housing, or other parts). In the event that 
such conditions exist, the transformer should not be used until 
properly repaired.
