Using this HO scale rail diesel car model is straightforward. Just connect it to your analog DC power source and watch it run smoothly on your track. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a delicate item, especially the brass parts. To keep it in good condition, store it in its original box and foam when not in use. If you notice any dust or debris on the model, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it clean. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the plated surface. Check the wheels regularly for any signs of excessive wear, although currently, the wheel wear is almost none. When shipping it yourself, pack it carefully following our bullet - proof packing style to prevent any damage. If you have any issues with the operation, like unusual noise or poor running, first check the power connection. If the problem persists, feel free to contact us.
