Using your HO scale brass model train is easy. First, make sure you have a proper analog - DC power source. Connect the train to the power source and switch it on. You'll notice how smoothly and quietly it runs. When handling the train, be gentle as it's a delicate item. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels for any dirt or debris. You can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the train. If there's any minor tarnish over time, a brass cleaner suitable for models can be used carefully. When not in use, store the train in its original box and foam to protect it from dust and damage. Remember, since it doesn't have couplers installed, if you plan to attach it to other train cars, you'll need to install the couplers using the provided mounting screws. And don't forget to check the shipping and payment details when making your purchase, and enjoy your new model train!
