Using this HO scale brass model is straightforward. Just connect it to an analog DC power source and watch it run. Since it has a spring band style drive, it should start moving smoothly once powered. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a fragile item, especially because it's made of brass. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels for any signs of excessive wear. If you notice any unusual noise, it might be due to the motor/gearbox. You can clean the motor gently with a soft brush to keep it in good working condition. As for the tarnish on the unpainted body, you can use a mild brass cleaner to restore its appearance, but make sure to follow the cleaner's instructions. Store the model in its original box with the 'pick n' pluck' style foam insert to protect it when not in use.
