Using this HO scale brass model train is easy. Just connect it to a DC power source for analog control. The headlight will light up once powered on. When handling the train, be careful around the areas where glue has been added and where the coupler is missing. Also, since the wheel plating has some wear, avoid rough handling to prevent further damage. For maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place. You can use a soft cloth to gently wipe the body to remove dust. If you notice the motor/gearbox noise increasing, it might be a sign to have it checked. When storing, keep it in the original box and foam to protect it from impacts. Remember, this model is fragile, so handle it with care at all times.
