Using this HO scale brass Alco model locomotive pair is quite straightforward. Just connect it to your analog - DC power source, and it will run smoothly on your model railway tracks. When handling the locomotives, be gentle as they are made of brass and can be a bit fragile. Also, since they're out of production and hard to find, take extra care not to drop or damage them. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels for any dirt or debris. You can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body and remove any dust. If you notice the motor noise getting louder or the locomotive not running as smoothly, it might be a good idea to have it serviced by a professional. When storing the locomotives, keep them in the original box and foam to protect them from scratches and damage. And remember, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund, just be aware of the return shipping cost policy.
