Using this HO scale brass model is straightforward. Just connect it to your analog DC power source, and it'll start running smoothly on the tracks. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a delicate item. Since it's made of brass, avoid exposing it to moisture to prevent tarnishing. The spare parts included can be used for minor repairs if needed. If you notice any issues with the motor or gears, turn off the power immediately. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the model. Keep it stored in the original box and foam when not in use to protect it from damage. 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 return shipping costs unless the item arrives damaged.
