Using this HO brass freight motor is easy. Just connect it to your model train setup and watch it run. Since it has a spring band style drive, it might make a moderate amount of noise, but that's normal. When handling, be gentle as it's a fragile item, especially being made of brass. To keep it in good condition, store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight. If you're not using it for a long time, it's a good idea to remove any batteries to prevent corrosion. And don't forget to check the wheels regularly for any signs of excessive wear. When shipping, we've packed it carefully, but still handle the package with care upon arrival.
