Using this model is easy. Just connect it to an analog DC power source and it will start running. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a fragile item. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels for any signs of excessive wear. If you notice any noise from the motor or gearbox that's different from the normal minimal noise, it might need a little lubrication. Keep the model in a dry place to prevent further tarnishing.
