Using this model train is quite straightforward. Just connect it to a DC/Analog power source, and it should start running. It's important to note that the lighting on this model is installed but not operable. When handling the train, be gentle as it shows some moderate wear and has scuffs and paint nicks. To maintain it, keep it in a dry and dust - free place. Every now and then, you can clean the wheels to reduce the moderate plating wear. Since it was recently serviced with the old gearbox grease replaced and a new drive tube installed, you don't need to do major mechanical maintenance for a while. However, if you notice excessive noise (it currently has a moderate motor and gearbox noise level of 5 out of 10), it might be a good idea to check the gearbox.
