Using your HO scale brass drive system for the Athearn EMD SW1500 is straightforward. First, make sure your power source is set to DC - Analog as specified. Connect the model to the power and start it up slowly to test. You'll notice it runs well, though there might be a moderate motor/gearbox noise. As there are no couplers, you can use this as a stand - alone unit or add your own couplers as needed. When it comes to maintenance, since there's no wheel wear, you don't have to worry about that for now. But keep the motor clean and free of dust. If you store it, use the original box and foam to protect it. When shipping it, especially if you're returning it, follow our packing standards to ensure it arrives safely.
