Using this locomotive is straightforward. Just place it on your HO scale tracks and power it up. It should run okay with a moderate motor noise. When it comes to handling, be gentle because it's a brass model and quite fragile. Avoid dropping it or applying too much force. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels for any debris or excessive wear. You can use a soft brush to clean the wheels and the body of the locomotive. Also, keep an eye on the booster engine on the trailing truck to make sure it's firmly attached. If you need to store the locomotive, use the original box with the 'Pick 'N Pluck' foam or the ReBoxx insert to protect it from damage. And remember, it doesn't have any lighting or backhead/interior details, so don't expect those features. Have fun with your locomotive on the tracks!
