Using this HO scale rail truck with trailer is quite straightforward. Just connect it to an appropriate analog - DC power source. Since it has limited electrical pickup, make sure to use well - maintained tracks. Avoid running it over unpowered frogs as it may not operate smoothly. As for maintenance, keep an eye on the wheels due to the minimal wear. You can clean the wheels gently to ensure good movement. The model has significant motor/gearbox noise, which is normal for this type. If you notice any abnormal sounds or issues, stop using it and check for any loose parts. The unpainted surface with moderate tarnish can be left as is for a vintage look or you can try to polish it gently. When storing, keep it in the original box and inserts to protect it from damage. Remember, it's a fragile item, so handle it with care.
