Using this model train is easy. Just connect it to an analog - DC power source, and it's ready to run on HO scale (16.5mm) gauge track. When handling the train, be gentle as it's a fragile item. Since it has minimal wheel wear and was recently serviced, it should run smoothly for a long time. But to keep it in great shape, clean the track regularly to prevent debris from affecting the train's movement. If you notice any increase in noise or a change in performance, it might be time to have it serviced again. When storing the train, keep it in its original box to protect it from dust and damage. And remember, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund, though you'll be responsible for return shipping costs unless the item arrives damaged.
