Using your HO scale brass model train is easy. Just connect it to an analog - DC power source and watch it go. Remember, this model has some motor/gearbox noise, so don't be alarmed if you hear a bit of a hum. When it comes to maintenance, keep an eye on the wheels. Since the wheel wear is minimal, a gentle cleaning every now and then should be enough to keep them in good shape. Avoid getting the model wet, as it can damage the motor and the painted details. If you need to store it, make sure to put it back in the original box with the bubble wrap to protect it.
