Troubleshooting
Train derails frequently on curves
Ensure track sections are snapped firmly together and that the surface beneath the tracks is completely level.
Crane arm feels stiff or loose
Check the friction pins at the joints; push them in firmly for a tighter fit or ensure there are no plastic burrs preventing smooth movement.
Motorized train runs slow or won't move
Check the battery level in the Power Functions unit and ensure the locomotive wheels are not blocked by loose bricks or carpet fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly should be performed on a flat, hard surface to prevent losing small pieces among the 803-piece total. Organize bricks by color or type before starting to simplify the construction of the locomotive and crane. This set is fully compatible with all standard LEGO City train track systems. To maintain the set, keep the motorized components free of dust and replace batteries in the Power Functions box as needed. Store finished builds in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight to prevent plastic degradation over long periods.
