Using this model is quite straightforward. Just connect it to an analog DC power source, and it should start running well. When handling it, be careful as it's a bit fragile, especially since it's a brass model. Also, keep in mind that it's missing a couple of brake shoes, so don't expect full braking functionality. For maintenance, every once in a while, check the gearbox. If you notice the noise increasing or the running performance decreasing, you might want to clean out the old grease and replace it, just like it was done recently. Since it's a custom - painted model, avoid using harsh chemicals or rough cleaning methods on the paint. When storing, put it back in the original box to protect it from dust and scratches. And remember, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund, but you'll be responsible for the return shipping costs unless the item arrived damaged.
