Using this model train is easy. Just connect it to an analog DC power source and it should start running. Since it has Kadee couplers, you can easily attach the tender or other cars. When handling the train, be gentle as it's a fragile brass model. For maintenance, keep an eye on the wheels. Because they have heavy wear, check regularly for any signs of further damage. You can clean and lube the gears as needed to keep it running smoothly. If you notice the motor/gearbox noise getting louder, it might be time for another lube job. Store the train in its original box to protect it from dust and damage. And remember, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund (you'll just need to pay for return shipping unless the item arrived damaged).
