Using this model is easy. Just connect it to your analog DC power source and it will run smoothly. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a fragile item, especially since it's made of brass. Keep it away from rough surfaces to avoid scratching. For maintenance, you can clean the wheels periodically to ensure minimal wear. If you notice any excessive noise, check the motor and drive system. Store it in the original box and foam when not in use to protect it. Remember, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days, but you'll be responsible for return shipping unless the item arrives damaged.
