Using this model is quite straightforward. Just connect it to an analog DC power source and watch it run. It's a great addition to your model train collection. When handling, be careful of the bent tender handrails to avoid further damage. Also, since it has mild foam damage, don't put too much pressure on the top part. For maintenance, you don't need to do much right away as it has been fully serviced. But over time, if you notice any increase in noise or a change in performance, you can consider cleaning the gearbox again and adding some lubrication. Keep it stored in the original box when not in use to protect it from dust and potential impacts.
