Using this model train is quite straightforward. Just connect it to an appropriate analog - DC power source, and it will start running. When handling it, be careful around the areas where the brake shoes are missing to avoid any sharp edges. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place. Since it has minimal wheel wear, there's no immediate need for wheel replacement, but you can check the wheels periodically. If you notice the motor/gearbox noise getting louder, it might be a good idea to have it checked by a professional. When storing, make sure to use the original box and foam to protect it from damage. Also, when shipping it back in case of a return, follow the packing instructions to avoid any new damages.
