Using this HO scale brass car is straightforward. Just connect it to a traditional 2 - rail power source, and it should run well. When handling the car, be gentle due to its brass construction and its age. Since it has a working pantograph, be careful not to bend it. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent further tarnishing. You can use a soft cloth to clean the car occasionally. If you notice the motor noise increasing significantly, it might be a sign of wear. And remember, since it doesn't come with spare parts, handle it with extra care to avoid any breakages. Also, when shipping it back (if needed), make sure to follow the packing instructions to ensure it arrives safely.
