Using this model train is easy. Just place it on the track and connect the power source. Make sure the track is clean for smooth running. When handling the train, hold it gently to avoid any damage. For maintenance, regularly clean the wheels with a soft cloth to remove dirt and debris. Since the wheel plating is worn, be extra careful not to cause more wear. Check the motor and couplers periodically to ensure they are working properly. If you plan to change the decals, use a gentle solvent to remove the old ones and carefully apply the new ones. When storing the train, keep it in the original box with the bubblewrap and foam inserts to protect it from dust and scratches. If you have any questions during use, don't hesitate to contact us.
