Using your HO scale brass model train is easy. Just connect it to a DC power source and watch it run. When handling the train, be gentle as it's a delicate item. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels for any excessive wear. If you notice the plating on the drivers wearing off, it's a sign that the wheels need some attention. Keep the motor clean to ensure smooth operation and reduce noise. If there's any build - up of dirt or debris, use a soft brush to clean it. When storing the train, put it back in its original box with the packing materials to protect it from damage. If you're shipping the train, know that it's already packed very securely. But if you need to repack it, make sure to use proper cushioning. Remember, we're here to help if you have any questions or concerns about your purchase.
