Using this HO scale brass locomotive model is straightforward. First, connect it to a DC power source as it has analog - DC only control. Then, you can start it up and watch it run on your model train track. When handling the model, be gentle because it's a delicate item, especially with the brass parts. To keep it in good condition, store it in the original box and foam when not in use. If you notice the paint chipping, you can do a simple touch - up as needed. Regularly check the wheels for any signs of excessive wear. Although the wheel wear is currently minimal, it's good to keep an eye on it. Also, listen to the motor and gearbox. If the noise level increases from the current 3 out of 10 rating, it might be time to have it checked.
