Using this locomotive is simple. Just connect it to an analog - DC power source, and it will start running. But keep in mind that it runs slowly and has limited pickup. When you run it in reverse, it's a bit quieter. Since it has minimal wheel wear, it can last a long time, but try to run it on clean tracks to keep the wheels in good condition. The brass gears are durable, but avoid overloading the locomotive. As it has no lighting or couplers, you won't have to worry about those parts malfunctioning. When storing, keep it in the original box with the 'Pick N' Pluck' foam to protect it from damage. If you notice the tarnish getting worse, you can use a gentle brass cleaner. And always remember, if you're not satisfied, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund, except for the return shipping cost (unless the item arrives damaged).
