Using your HO scale brass model train is easy. Just connect it to a DC analog power source, and it'll start running. Make sure to handle it gently, as it's a delicate and hard - to - find item. When not in use, store it in the original box to protect it from dust and damage. Since it's an older model with some solder repairs, be extra careful during handling. For maintenance, keep an eye on the wheel wear. If you notice any excessive noise from the motor or gearbox, it might be time for another service. Also, avoid exposing the unpainted brass to moisture to prevent tarnishing. If you need to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth.
