Using this model train is a breeze. Just place it on your HO scale track, connect the power, and watch it go. Before using it for the first time, let it run for a bit to break it in. This will help it run even smoother. When it comes to maintenance, it's a good idea to clean the model regularly. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust. Every now and then, lubricate the moving parts as you would a normal train model. If you notice any issues with the motor noise or the running, check the gearbox to make sure it's clean and the grease is in good condition. When storing the model, keep it in its original box and foam to protect it from damage. Remember, this is a hard - to - find model, so handle it with care.
