Using this product is straightforward. Just place it on the appropriate track and it should run well. It's designed to work smoothly with its open - frame motor, and it's relatively quiet for this type of motor. When handling, be gentle as it's a fragile brass model. Store it in the provided original box with the replacement foam to protect it from damage. Regularly check the wheels for any signs of excessive wear. If you notice the motor noise increasing, it might be a good idea to have it inspected. Keep it away from moisture and dust to prevent tarnishing.
