if you are using batteries to operate your model train, take it out if the train if it will not be in use for a long time. Batteries leak if not in use for a long period of time. The leakage could damage the model train because the chemicals in batteries are harsh and abrasive.

let the model train run on its own power.?? Do not touch the item when it is operating. Doing so can often cause little damages to the engine and to the function of the model train as a whole.
