Using this HOn3 brass model is simple. Just connect it to a DC power source for analog control. It runs slowly, so be patient when operating. When handling, be gentle as it's a fragile brass item. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent further tarnish. If the motor/gearbox noise seems to increase over time, a light lubrication might help, but be careful not to over - lubricate.
