Using this model is quite straightforward. Just connect it to an analog DC power source to start it running. Since it has no lighting, don't expect any illuminated features. When handling, be gentle as it's a fragile brass model. For maintenance, it's a good idea to check the wheel plating regularly as it's well - worn. If you notice an increase in motor/gearbox noise, it might be time for another clean - out like the recent service it had. Keep the spare parts in a safe place in case you need to replace anything. When storing, make sure to keep it in the original box with the bubblewrap to protect it from damage. If you're shipping it back for a return, follow the packing guidelines to avoid any additional damage. And remember, if you have any payment - related questions, feel free to contact us.
