Using this model train is easy. Just place it on your HO scale train track and connect it to your power source if you have one set up. When handling the train, hold it gently by the body to avoid any damage to the delicate parts like the window glazing and car number indicators. As for storage, keep it in the original box and foam to protect it from dust and potential impacts. Make sure to store it in a dry and cool place to prevent any corrosion on the metal parts. If you notice any dirt on the train, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it clean. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they could damage the paint finish or the plating. When it comes to the trucks and couplers, check them regularly to ensure they are in good working condition. If you need to replace any parts, make sure to use compatible HO scale parts. Remember, this is a collectible item, so handle it with care to maintain its excellent condition.
