Using this HO Brass Suydam model is straightforward. Just connect it to an analog DC power source, and it should start running. Since it has a spring band style drive and limited electrical pickup, you might notice a bit of unevenness in its movement, but it generally runs okay. When handling the model, be gentle as there are some bent parts and solder repairs. The poles are already installed, so don't try to remove or re - install them without proper tools. As for maintenance, because it has heavy tarnish and is unpainted, you can use a mild brass cleaner to clean it up, but be careful not to damage any of the soldered parts. When storing it, keep it in the replacement Suydam box provided to protect it from dust and further damage. Remember, if you're shipping it back for a return, make sure to pack it well to avoid any additional damage.
