Using this model is straightforward. Just connect it to an analog DC power source, and it should run well. Since it has minimal motor and gearbox noise, you can enjoy a quiet operation. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a fragile item, especially being a brass model. To keep it in good condition, periodically check the wheels for any signs of increased wear. Every once in a while, clean the gearbox to maintain its smooth operation, like the recent service it had with a new drive tube installation. Also, avoid exposing it to excessive dust or moisture. If you need to store it, make sure it's placed in a safe spot inside the provided ReBoxx and foam. And remember, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, you have a 30 - day no - questions - asked money - back policy, though you'll be responsible for return shipping unless the item arrives damaged.
