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.
