Using this HO scale brass model train is quite straightforward. Just connect it to an analog DC power source, and it'll start running on your track. When handling the train, be gentle as it's a delicate model. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels for any excessive wear. You can clean the wheels with a soft, dry cloth to keep the movement smooth. Every once in a while, like we did with this model, it's a good idea to clean out the gearbox to prevent any build - up that could cause noise or affect performance. If you notice any parts starting to wear out, such as the drive tube, consider getting it replaced. When storing the train, keep it in the provided ReBoxx and foam to protect it from scratches and damage. And remember, if you're not happy with your purchase, you can reach out to us within 30 days for a refund, just be prepared to cover the return shipping costs (unless the item arrived damaged).
