Using this steam locomotive is straightforward. First, make sure you've got a DC Analog power source. Connect the locomotive to the power source and turn it on. You'll notice it runs smoothly, though it might be a bit noisy. As for handling, be gentle with the Kadee couplers when attaching or detaching the tender. When it comes to maintenance, keep the metal wheels clean. You can use a soft cloth to wipe off any dirt or debris. Also, since it's a brass model, avoid exposing it to moisture for long periods as it could cause corrosion. If you're not using it for a while, store it in its original box and foam to protect it. And remember, if you're shipping it back for a return, make sure to pack it well to avoid any damage during transit.
