Using this HO scale electric locomotive is straightforward. Just connect it to your analog DC power source, and it will start running. It moves slowly but smoothly, so you can enjoy watching it on your track. When handling the locomotive, be gentle as it's a delicate item. Since it's made of brass, it can be a bit heavy, so make sure your track can support it. For maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place to prevent tarnishing. Check the gears regularly to ensure they're in good condition. If you notice any unusual noise or performance issues, stop using it and inspect it carefully. When shipping, we've packed it well, but when you receive it, still check for any signs of damage during transit. Enjoy your locomotive!
