Using this model train is quite straightforward. Just connect it to an analog DC power source to start it running. When handling the train, be careful around the bent tender steps on the left side to avoid further damage. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent rusting of the wheel plating. Since it has an open - frame motor, occasionally check for any loose parts. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the body. If you need to replace any parts, you can use the spare parts included. Also, make sure to follow the shipping and payment rules as described in the product description to ensure a smooth purchase experience.
