Using this model train is quite straightforward. First, connect it to a DC - Analog power source. You'll notice the operating headlight lighting up, which adds a nice touch to your model train setup. When it comes to running it, it runs well and should smoothly move along your tracks. As for maintenance, since it has a Can Motor and some moving parts, it's a good idea to check the wheels regularly for any signs of excessive wear. Although the current wheel wear is minimal, keeping an eye on it will ensure long - term performance. You should also avoid exposing the model to extreme temperatures or humidity as this can damage the paint and other components. When storing it, keep it in its original box and foam to protect it from scratches and impacts. If you notice any issues with the motor noise getting louder or any parts not working properly, feel free to contact us. Also, be aware that part of the 'Ohio' decal on the fireman's side of the tender is already worn off, so handle the tender area gently to avoid further damage to the remaining decals.
