Using this model train is easy. Just connect it to your analog DC power source and watch it run on your tracks. When operating, be aware of the moderate motor/gearbox noise, which is normal for this model. For maintenance, you don't need to do much right away as it has been fully serviced. But over time, check the wheel wear. If you notice any significant change in the running performance or an increase in noise, it might be time to have it serviced again. When storing, keep it in the original box to protect it from dust and damage. And remember, if you're not happy with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund (you'll need to pay for return shipping unless the item arrived damaged).
