Using this Akane HO brass model is quite straightforward. Just connect it to an analog DC power source and it'll start running. It's mainly controlled by adjusting the DC power. For lighting, it only has a headlight, so you can enjoy its illumination as it moves. When it comes to handling, be gentle with it as it's a delicate item, especially the brass parts. When you receive it, check it carefully for any signs of damage during shipping. For maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place to prevent tarnishing. If you notice any gearbox noise, don't worry too much as it has a moderate level of normal noise. But if the noise gets much louder or there are other abnormal operations, it might be a sign of a problem. Also, make sure to use the original box and packing inserts when storing it to protect it from scratches and other damages. Remember, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days, and we'll make it right.
