Using your HO scale brass electric locomotive is easy. First, make sure you have a compatible analog DC power source. Connect the locomotive to the track and turn on the power. You'll see the headlights light up at both ends, though be aware that one end is missing a lens. The locomotive should run smoothly, despite its age and moderate motor/gearbox noise. When handling it, be gentle as there is one loose brake shoe and one missing air tank cover. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels for wear as they already show some plating wear. Clean the locomotive gently with a soft cloth to keep the custom paint looking good. Store it in the original box with the hand - cut foam to protect it from damage. Remember, if you're shipping it back due to dissatisfaction, you'll be responsible for the return shipping costs, unless it arrived damaged.
