Using this locomotive model is quite straightforward. It operates on analog DC power only, so you'll need to connect it to a suitable DC power source. When you power it on, it should run smoothly and quietly, thanks to its well - maintained gearboxes and the 'Hi - Low' silent drive. Since it's an articulated model, it has a great ability to navigate curves. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a fragile brass item. Keep it away from sharp objects and rough surfaces to avoid scratches or chips. For maintenance, it's a good idea to periodically check the gearboxes. You can follow the recent service example and remove the old lube and replace it every so often. Also, check the drive tubes for any signs of wear and replace them if needed. If you want to add some personal touches, you can use the included decals to letter the locomotive. And don't forget to store it in the provided original box with the foam insert to protect it when not in use. If you're shipping it, rest assured that we pack it very securely, but you should still handle it with care during transit. If you're not satisfied with your purchase, just let us know within 30 days, and we'll arrange a no - questions - asked money - back. But remember, you'll be responsible for the return shipping costs, unless the item arrived damaged.
