Using this model train is easy. Just connect it to your analog DC power source and watch it run. Make sure to handle it gently because it's a delicate brass model. When not in use, store it in the original box to protect it from dust and damage. To maintain it, you can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust. If you notice any issues with the motor or gears, don't try to fix it yourself. Instead, contact us for assistance. Also, keep in mind that for international buyers, you'll be responsible for any import - related costs. And if you're not happy with your purchase, let us know within 30 days for a refund, but you'll need to cover the return shipping (except when the item arrives damaged).
