Using this model is quite straightforward. It's an analog - DC only model, so you'll need to connect it to a suitable DC power source to get it running. When you do, you'll notice it runs very quietly and smoothly. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a fragile item, especially being a brass model. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts. Also, since it doesn't have glazing installed, take extra care around areas where the glazing would have been. For maintenance, you can occasionally check the wheels for any dirt or debris. If there's minimal wheel wear, it should keep running well for a long time. You can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body of the model and keep its great - looking custom paint job. The cast couplers also need to be checked for any signs of damage. If you have the spare parts, keep them in a safe place in case you need to replace anything in the future. And don't forget to store it in the original box and paperwork when not in use to protect it from dust and potential damage.
