Using this model on your layout is easy. Just connect it to an analog DC power source and it will start running. Since it's unpainted, you can customize its look according to your preference. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a fragile brass item. For maintenance, regularly check the solder joints to make sure they remain secure. If you notice any noise from the motor or gearbox increasing, it might be a sign to check the idler gear. Store the model in its original box and foam when not in use to protect it from damage.
