Using this HO scale brass switcher model is easy. Just connect it to your analog DC power source, and it should start running well. Remember, it has moderate motor/gearbox noise, so don't be surprised if you hear a bit of sound. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a fragile item. It's unpainted and has some tarnish, which gives it a unique look. If you need to store it, keep it in the original box for protection. As for maintenance, check the wheels regularly for any excessive wear. Since the plating on the drivers has some wear, avoid rough handling to prevent further damage. And always make sure to turn off the power when you're done using it to keep the motor in good condition.
