Using this locomotive is straightforward. Just connect it to a compatible analog DC power source, and it'll start running. Make sure to handle it gently as it's a delicate brass model. When not in use, store it in the original box to protect it from dust and damage. To keep it in good condition, occasionally clean the wheels with a soft cloth to prevent dirt build - up. Check the gearbox regularly for any signs of wear or loose parts. If you notice any issues during operation, like unusual noise or reduced performance, stop using it and contact us. Also, remember that since it's an unpainted model, it may require some care to prevent further tarnishing. Keep it in a dry and clean environment. And if you're shipping it back for a return, pack it carefully to avoid any additional damage.
