Using this HO scale brass model train is quite straightforward. Just connect it to an analog DC power source to get it running. But remember, the motor is a bit weak, so if you plan to run it for long periods, you might want to replace the motor. When handling the train, be gentle as it's a fragile and hard - to - find collectible. Also, since there are no spare parts included, take extra care to avoid any damage. For maintenance, keep it in a dry and dust - free place. Check the wheels regularly for wear and clean them gently if needed. The custom paint is beautiful, but there's some decal chipping and general wear, so don't rub too hard on the painted areas.
