Using this train model is simple. Just connect it to an analog - DC power source to start it running. But remember, the drive bands are currently loose, so you may need to adjust them for smooth operation. To do this, you can shorten the bands slightly until the model runs properly. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a delicate piece. Keep it away from sharp objects and rough surfaces to avoid scratches. For maintenance, you can clean the model with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If you notice any signs of tarnish, a gentle brass cleaner can be used. Store the model in its original box with the foam padding to protect it when not in use. And don't forget, if you're shipping it back, make sure to pack it well to prevent damage.
