Using your HO scale brass model train is easy. Just place it on the tracks and power it up. The train runs well on most standard HO scale tracks. When handling the train, be gentle as it's a delicate item, especially the brass parts. Avoid dropping or knocking it around. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels for any dirt or debris. You can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the train. If the motor/gearbox noise seems to increase over time, it might be a sign that it needs a bit of lubrication, but it's best to consult a professional for that. Store the train in its original box when not in use to protect it from dust and damage. When shipping, we've taken great care to pack it properly, but once it's in your hands, keep it in a safe place. Enjoy your model train and have fun running it on your track layouts!
