Using this locomotive is simple. Just connect it to an analog - DC power source, and it should start running. Since it's a bit noisy, don't be too alarmed if you hear some motor/gearbox sounds. When handling it, be careful as the wheel plating is worn, so rough handling might cause further damage. For maintenance, keep it clean and store it in a dry place. The box and bubble - wrap packaging provide good protection during storage. If you're shipping it back for a return, make sure to repack it well to avoid any new damages. And always use the payment methods we accept to ensure a smooth transaction.
