Using this model train is easy. Just connect it to an analog DC power source, and it will start running smoothly. When handling it, be gentle as it's a delicate item. To keep it in great shape, clean the wheels regularly with a soft cloth to maintain good electrical contact. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity as it can cause damage to the brass and other components. If you notice any unusual noise or issues during operation, turn it off and check for loose parts. And don't forget to keep it stored in the original box with the foam to prevent any accidental bumps or scratches.
