Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, use a small screwdriver to open the battery compartment and insert one fresh AAA alkaline battery. This toy is compatible with virtually all Thomas & Friends plastic track systems; however, it will not function on wooden track sets.
To clean, simply wipe the plastic exterior with a damp cloth; do not submerge the unit in water as this will damage the internal electronic motor. When not in use for extended periods, remove the battery to prevent leakage.
