Using this model train is straightforward. Just connect it to an analog DC power source. But keep in mind, the motor is weak, so you'll need to give it a little push to get it going from a standstill. When handling the train, be gentle as it's a fragile item. Also, since it's an older model, there might be some electrical pickup issues. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels for any signs of increased wear. Given that the motor is an open - frame motor and needs replacement soon, you might want to start looking for a new one. When it comes to shipping, we've packed it really well, but still, be careful when unpacking. If you're not satisfied with your purchase, you have 30 days to return it, just be aware that you'll usually be responsible for the return shipping costs, unless the item arrived damaged.
