Using this locomotive model is quite straightforward. Just connect it to an analog DC power source, and it will start running smoothly on your tracks. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a fragile item, especially the brass parts. To keep it in good condition, regularly check the wheels for any signs of wear. You can clean the wheels with a soft cloth to ensure proper contact with the tracks. Also, every now and then, check the gearbox to make sure there's no excessive noise.
