Using this HO scale locomotive model is easy. Just connect it to an analog - DC power source and it will start running. When handling it, be careful as it's a fragile item, especially since it's made of brass. For maintenance, regularly check the gearbox to ensure the grease is in good condition. If you notice any excessive noise or slow movement, it might be time to clean and replace the grease like it was done before. Also, keep it in a dry and dust - free place to prevent tarnishing.
