Using this locomotive is easy. Just connect it to an analog DC power source and watch it run smoothly. When handling it, be gentle as it's a fragile item. For maintenance, every once in a while, check the gearbox. If you notice the movement getting a bit rough, clean out the old grease and apply new grease like it was recently done. Also, keep an eye on the drive tube for any signs of wear. If the wheel plating starts to look bad, it might be a sign of excessive wear. When shipping it, rely on our bullet - proof packing, but if you're moving it on your own, use some soft padding to protect it. Remember, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days, but you'll be responsible for return shipping unless it arrives damaged.
