This is a 1988 Overland Models, Inc. import, built by Ajin Precision Mfg. in Korea. The original box has some shelf wear and damage, but spare parts are included.

Using this HO model train is quite straightforward. Just connect it to a DC - Analog power source, and it'll start running smoothly. It doesn't have lighting, so don't expect that feature. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a fragile brass item. Since it's a hard - to - find model, take extra care to avoid any damage. For maintenance, check the wheels regularly for any signs of excessive wear. If you notice any minimal motor or gearbox noise, it's normal as it's rated 4 out of 10 for noise. Keep the model clean by using a soft, dry cloth. Store it in the original box with the foam insert to protect it when not in use. If you're shipping it back for a return, make sure to pack it well to avoid any additional damage.
