Using this HO scale brass model is easy. First, make sure you have an appropriate analog DC power source. Connect the model to the power source and switch it on to start it running. Since it has a steel band style drive, avoid over - powering it to prevent any damage to the drive system. When handling the model, be gentle as it's made of brass and can be easily scratched. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels for any dirt or debris that might affect its movement. You can use a soft brush to clean the wheels. Also, keep an eye on the motor noise. If the noise becomes too loud or changes in pitch, it might be a sign of an issue. Store the model in a dry and clean place, preferably in the provided non - original box with the foam packing materials to protect it from dust and accidental bumps. Remember, if you're not happy with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days, but you'll be responsible for return shipping unless the item arrives damaged.
