Using this model is quite straightforward. Just connect it to an analog DC power source, and it should start running well. When handling the model, be careful as it's made of brass and can be fragile. Since it has been drilled for PFM Sound install, if you plan to add the sound system later, make sure to use the appropriate components. As for maintenance, regularly check the wheels for any signs of increased wear. You can clean the model gently with a soft cloth to keep it looking good. If you notice any unusual noise from the motor or gearbox, it might be a good idea to have it checked. Also, keep it stored in a dry place to prevent further tarnish. When shipping the model back (if needed), follow our packing guidelines to ensure its safety during transit.
