Using your HO scale brass model train is easy. Just place it on the tracks and connect it to your power source. You'll notice it runs smoothly right away. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a delicate item. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior. If there's a bit of dust inside the cab, use a small, soft brush. Store the model in its original box when not in use to protect it from scratches and damage. Remember, it has no lighting, so if you want to add that feature, you may need to do some customization. When shipping or moving it, make sure it's well - packed like we did when we sent it to you. Also, if you have any questions about the spare parts, feel free to contact us. Enjoy your model train!
