Using this model train car is easy. Just connect it to your analog DC power source and watch it run smoothly on the tracks. When handling the car, be gentle with the trolley poles as they are attached and can be fragile. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent further tarnishing. You can use a soft cloth to clean the surface occasionally. If you notice any excessive noise from the motor or gearbox, it might be a sign to check for any loose parts. Always refer to the original paperwork that comes with the car for any specific instructions. And remember, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, let us know within 30 days for a hassle - free return.
