Using this model train is easy. Just connect it to an analog DC power source, and it'll start running well. When handling it, be gentle as it's a fragile item. For maintenance, from time to time, check the wheel wear. If you notice the motor/gearbox noise increasing, it might be time to service it like we did, by cleaning out and replacing the gearbox lube. Also, keep it in a dry place to prevent further tarnish. When shipping it back for a return, make sure to pack it well to avoid any damage.
