Using your HO scale brass model train is easy. Just connect it to an analog - DC power source, and it's ready to run on your track. Remember, this model has some wear, especially on the wheels, so make sure your track is clean and smooth to avoid any issues. When it comes to maintenance, you can use a soft cloth to gently clean the exterior of the train. Be careful around the painted areas as the paint has some wear and chips. If you need to move the pilot, be aware that it has been epoxied in place by a previous owner. Store the train in its original box and packing materials when not in use to protect it from dust and damage. And don't forget to handle it gently because it's a fragile and hard - to - find collectible. If you have any questions or notice any problems during operation, feel free to contact us.
