Keep wheels and track clean for reliable electrical pickup, check couplings before operation, and store the model carefully when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heljan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42880865501340,"sku":"HJN9770","price":279.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/9095\/3628\/files\/HJN9770_2.webp?v=1734118924","url":"https:\/\/www.harveynorman.lol\/products\/oo-ruston-165de-industrial-yellow-dcc-ready-18-pin","provider":"Hobbyco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
