Troubleshooting
Parts do not fit together correctly
Ensure all parts are correctly identified and removed cleanly from the sprue. Check for any flash or excess plastic that may be obstructing the fit and carefully trim as needed.
Model does not roll smoothly on track
Check that the wheels are correctly seated in the chassis and spin freely. Ensure there are no obstructions around the wheelsets or coupling hooks.
Glue marks are visible on the pre-colored body
Use plastic cement sparingly and apply it only where needed. For any visible glue marks, consider using a subtle weathering technique to blend them in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This product is an unassembled model kit. You will need basic modeling tools such as a hobby knife, plastic cement, and potentially fine brushes and paints if you wish to add further detailing or weathering.
