Using this model train is easy. First, make sure you have an analog - DC power source. Connect the train to the power source and switch it on to start the locomotive running. When handling the train, be gentle as it's a fragile item. Store it in the original box and foam insert when not in use to protect it from damage. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent further tarnishing. Clean the wheels gently from time to time to ensure smooth operation. If you encounter any gearbox noise, check the spare parts included. If you have any other issues or questions, feel free to contact us.
