Using this model is easy. Just connect it to an analog DC power source, and it'll run smoothly on your track. When handling, be gentle as the brass parts can be fragile. Store it in the original box and foam when not in use to protect it from dust and damage. For maintenance, check the wheels regularly for any signs of excessive wear. If the motor noise becomes too loud, it might need some lubrication. Keep it away from moisture and extreme temperatures to ensure its longevity. If you have any issues, don't hesitate to contact us, and we'll do our best to help.
