Using your HO scale brass model train is a breeze. Just connect it to an analog DC power source, and it'll start running smoothly on your tracks. Make sure to use the appropriate power level for a good performance.
When it comes to handling, be gentle as these models are fragile, especially the brass parts. Avoid dropping or rough handling.
For maintenance, check the wheels regularly for wear. You can clean the wheels gently with a soft cloth to keep them in good condition. The gearbox has been recently serviced, but it's a good idea to keep an eye on it. If you notice any unusual noise or performance issues, you might need to have it checked again.
When storing the train, keep it in its original box with the foam and paperwork. This will protect it from dust and damage. If you're shipping it back for a return, make sure to pack it well to avoid any new damage.
