Using this locomotive is easy. Just connect it to an analog - DC power source, and it's ready to run on your HO scale tracks. When handling the locomotive, be gentle as it's a fragile item. For maintenance, keep an eye on the wheel wear. If the motor/gearbox noise becomes too loud, you may need to clean and lube the gears again. If you plan to paint the unpainted locomotive, do an abrasive blasting first to remove the tarnish and pitting. Store it in the original box with the pick - n - pluck foam to protect it from damage.
