Using this model train is simple. Connect it to an analog DC power source, and it should start running. But remember, it has moderate motor and gearbox noise, so don't be surprised if you hear a bit of sound. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a fragile item, especially since it's a brass model. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels. Since they have moderate to heavy wear, you might want to clean them carefully with a soft cloth to keep the movement smooth. Store it in the original box when not in use to protect it from dust and damage. If you're shipping it back for a return, make sure to pack it well to avoid any additional damage. Also, keep in mind that for international buyers, you'll be responsible for any import duties and tariffs.
