Using your HO scale brass model train is easy. First, make sure you have an appropriate DC power source for its analog control. Simply connect the power and watch it run smoothly on your track. When it comes to maintenance, since it has an open frame motor, you can periodically check for any dust or debris and gently clean it with a soft brush. Be careful not to apply too much pressure to avoid damaging the motor. As for the tarnished raw brass, you can use a mild brass cleaner if you want to restore its shine, but be sure to follow the cleaner's instructions. When storing the model, keep it in the provided Westside replacement box with bubble wrap to protect it from scratches and impacts. And remember, this is a delicate item, so handle it with care. If you have any issues during shipping or operation, don't hesitate to contact us for assistance.
