Using this model train is quite straightforward. Just connect it to an analog DC power source, and it will start running well. When handling it, be gentle because it's a delicate item, especially the brass parts. As for maintenance, from time to time, you should check the gearbox and the drive tube. If you notice any excessive noise or reduced performance, it might be time for another cleaning and lubrication like it had before. Keep it in a dry and clean place to prevent further tarnish if it happens. If you need to store it, make sure to use proper packing materials to protect it. Also, when shipping it back (if needed), follow the return policy and make sure it's packed securely to avoid any damage.
