Using this HOn3 scale brass model train is easy. Just connect it to an analog DC power source and watch it run. It's important to note that since it's an older model, there are no spare parts included. When handling the train, be gentle as it's made of brass and can be a bit fragile. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent any tarnishing. If you notice the motor/gearbox noise getting louder over time, it might be a good idea to have it checked. And always make sure to use the proper power supply to avoid any damage to the train. When shipping it back, follow the packing instructions to ensure it arrives safely at our end.
