Using your new HO scale brass model train is easy. First, make sure you've got an appropriate analog DC power source. Connect the locomotive to your tracks and switch on the power. You'll notice it runs smoothly and quietly, thanks to its great motor and minimal gearbox noise. Since it's sound-ready, you can easily add a speaker to the pre-drilled tender for an even more immersive experience. When it comes to maintenance, keep an eye on the wheels. They have very little wear right now, but regular cleaning will help them last even longer. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the locomotive and tender, removing any dust or debris. If you need to replace any parts, don't worry - we've included spare parts for you. Storage is important too. Keep the model in its original box and foam when not in use. This will protect it from scratches and damage. And remember, if you have any questions or concerns about your purchase, our 100% satisfaction guarantee means we'll make it right.
