Using this model train is simple. Just connect it to an analog DC power source and it will start running. But keep in mind, it doesn't track very well, so you might need to adjust its position on the track from time to time. Also, one of the pantographs doesn't stay latched down, so be careful when handling it. For maintenance, since it has moderate gearbox/motor noise, you may want to clean and lube the gearboxes every now and then as we've done before. The wheel wear is minimal, but still, check the wheels regularly for any signs of excessive wear. When it comes to storage, keep it in the original box with the owner - cut foam to protect it. And if you're shipping it back for a return, make sure to pack it properly to avoid any damage. Oh, and always use the approved payment methods when making a purchase.
