Using this model train is easy. Just connect it to a DC power source using analog control. It runs well, though it's a bit slower like most articulated locos. When handling it, be gentle as it's a fragile item. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels for wear. Since the tires have no plating, keep an eye on their condition. Clean the model with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its paint. If you're shipping it back (under our 30 - day return policy), use proper packaging to avoid damage.
