Using this model train is easy. Just connect it to a conventional HO scale (16.5mm) gauge track and use an analog - DC power source to make it run. It has Kadee couplers on the tender and locomotive pilot, so you can easily attach other cars. When it comes to maintenance, since it was recently serviced with a new drive tube and a clean gearbox, it should run smoothly for a while. But keep an eye on the wheel wear, which is currently minimal. If you notice any excessive noise (it currently has a moderate drivetrain noise of 5 out of 10), it might be time for a check - up. The model is painted at the factory with a blackened frame and cylinders, so avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the paint.
