Using your HO scale brass model train is quite simple. First, make sure you connect it to a DC - analog power source as it only supports this type of control. The train has a headlight, so you'll see it light up when it's running. It runs well after a recent service, but remember it has some moderate motor and gearbox noise. When it comes to maintenance, since it has minimal wheel wear, you don't need to worry too much about the wheels for now. But it's a good idea to check them regularly. The train has no backhead or interior details and is unpainted with some tarnish. You can clean it gently to keep it looking good. For shipping and handling, we've packed it carefully to ensure it reaches you safely. If you're in the USA and your purchase is over $199, you'll get free shipping. International buyers, be aware that you're responsible for any import - related costs. If you're not satisfied with your purchase, let us know within 30 days, and we'll refund your money, though you'll need to pay for return shipping unless the item arrives damaged.
