Using this model is quite straightforward. Since it's an analog - DC only model, you'll need a compatible power source to get it running. When you turn on the power, it should start moving, though you might notice some hesitation due to the two separate motors. Just be patient and it should keep going. As for handling, remember that it's a brass model, so it's quite heavy and a bit fragile. Be gentle when picking it up or moving it around. For maintenance, keep an eye on the wheel wear. Since it has moderate wheel wear already, try to run it on clean tracks to prevent further damage. Also, if you notice the motor/gearbox noise getting louder, it might be a sign that it needs some attention. You can use a little bit of lubricant on the moving parts, but make sure not to over - do it. When storing the model, put it back in the original box to protect it from dust and scratches. And don't forget, if you're not happy with your purchase, you can take advantage of our 30 - day no - questions - asked money - back policy.
