Using this streetcar is straightforward. Since it has an analog - DC only control, just connect it to a suitable DC power source and it should start running. The spring - style drive gives it a unique movement. Be aware that it has limited electrical pickup, so sometimes you might need to adjust its position on the tracks for better operation. As for maintenance, because it's a brass model and has some tarnish, you can use a gentle brass cleaner to keep it looking good. Check the motor regularly to make sure it's running smoothly. And since the seat details are not included, don't expect a fully detailed interior. When handling the streetcar, do it gently as it's a fragile and hard - to - find item. Remember, it's sold as is, so if you notice any pre - existing issues, that's normal. Enjoy running this piece of railway history on your tracks!
