Using this HO scale brass locomotive is easy. Just connect it to your analog - DC power source and watch it run. When handling the locomotive, be gentle as it's a fragile item. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent further tarnishing. If you notice the motor/gearbox noise increasing, it might be time for another clean - out. The wheels should be checked regularly for excessive wear. When shipping it back (if needed), make sure to use proper packaging to avoid damage. And remember, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund, minus the return shipping cost (except when the item arrives damaged).
