Using this model is straightforward. Just connect it to your analog DC power source and it's ready to run on your track. When handling it, be gentle as it's a fragile brass model. Store it in the original box to protect it from dust and damage. To maintain it, you can use a soft cloth to clean the body occasionally. Check the wheels regularly for any signs of wear.
