Using this model train is easy. Just connect it to your train track's power source and switch it on to watch it run smoothly. When handling the train, be gentle as it's a delicate brass model. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior and remove any dust. If the motor noise seems to increase over time, it might be a good idea to check the NWSL Gearbox and universal driveline for any signs of wear. Avoid getting the model wet as it could damage the electrical components. When storing, make sure it's in a dry and cool place, away from direct sunlight. And don't forget, if you're not happy with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund.
