Using this railcar is quite simple. Just connect it to an analog DC power source, and it will start running smoothly. Remember, it has a moderate motor/gearbox noise, so don't be surprised when you hear it. When handling the railcar, be gentle as it's a fragile item. For storage, keep it in the original box with the foam insert to protect it from damage. If you notice any minimal tarnish, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the surface. When it comes to shipping, if you're in the USA and your purchase is over $199, you'll get free shipping. For international orders, the rates are calculated to be reasonable, but you'll be responsible for import fees. If you're not satisfied with your purchase, let us know within 30 days, and we'll refund your money. Just be prepared to pay for return shipping unless the item arrives damaged.
