Using this model train is easy. Just connect it to an analog DC power source and watch it run smoothly on your track. When handling the model, be careful with the loose part - the top of the boiler behind the stack. If you want to move it around, hold it gently to avoid further damage. Since the lighting is installed but not functional, don't try to fix it on your own as it may cause more problems. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels for any signs of increased wear. You can use a soft cloth to clean the body of the train and remove any dust. Keep it in the original box and foam when not in use to protect it from damage. When shipping or moving the model, rely on our bullet - proof packing. And remember, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund (you'll be responsible for return shipping unless the item arrived damaged).
