Using this locomotive is easy. Just connect it to an analog - DC power source and watch it run. When handling, be careful as the brass model is fragile. Avoid dropping it or applying too much force. For maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place to prevent further tarnish. Periodically check the drive tube and gearbox to make sure they're in good condition. If you notice any abnormal noise or reduced performance, it might be time for another cleaning and lubrication. Also, if you plan to use the spare parts, make sure to do it carefully to avoid any damage. And remember, it's a collectible item, so take good care of it!
