Using this model train is easy. Just connect it to an analog DC power source, and it'll start running smoothly on your tracks. When handling it, be gentle as it's a delicate brass model. To maintain it, regularly check the side rod bolts and make sure they're tight. If you notice any loose parts, use the included side rod wrench to fix them. Clean the locomotive and tender gently with a soft cloth to remove any dust or dirt. If the motor noise seems to increase, it might be a sign that it needs some basic maintenance. Store it in the original box and foam when not in use to protect it from damage. Remember, if you're shipping it back for a return, make sure to pack it well to avoid any new damages.
