Using this model train is easy. Just connect it to an analog DC power source, and it will run smoothly on the conventional HO scale (16.5mm) gauge track. When handling the train, be gentle as it's a fragile item, especially since it's a brass model. For maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place. Every now and then, check the wheels for any signs of wear. If you notice any drivetrain noise getting louder, it might be time to have it serviced again like it was recently, with a clean - out of the gearbox and potentially a new drive tube.
