Using this model train is quite straightforward. Just connect it to an analog DC power source and watch it run on your HO scale tracks. When operating, be aware that it has significant motor/gearbox noise, which is normal for this model. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent the brass from tarnishing further. You can use a soft cloth to gently clean the body. If you need to replace any parts, refer to the spare parts bag included. When it comes to storage, use the original box with the replacement hand - cut foam to protect it from damage. Also, since it's a fragile item, handle it with care during setup and removal from the tracks.
