Using this model train is easy. Just place it on your HO scale track and connect your power source. It should start running smoothly as it's a good runner. When handling it, be gentle as it's a fragile item. For maintenance, keep it clean. You can use a soft brush to remove dust from the locomotive and tender. Check the wheels regularly for any signs of excessive wear, but currently, the wheel wear is minimal. If you notice any increase in the motor/drive noise, it might be a sign that it needs some lubrication. When storing, keep it in the original box and foam to protect it from damage.
