Using your HOn3 scale brass steam locomotive model is quite straightforward. Just connect it to an analog DC power source for operation. You'll notice it runs very well, but there might be a moderate motor/gearbox noise (rated 3 out of 10). When handling the model, be careful as it's fragile, especially since it has a lot of solder repairs and the airhose casting on the tender is broken off. If you want to clean it up, use paint preparation techniques to get rid of the tarnish. Keep the model in its original box and foam when not in use to protect it. For maintenance, check the wheels regularly as there's minimal wheel wear, but over time, you might need to lubricate the moving parts. Also, since it's an older model, handle it gently to avoid any further damage. If you have any issues or need more help, don't hesitate to contact us.
