Using this model is quite straightforward. Just connect it to an analog - DC power source, and it should start running. When handling, be gentle as it's a fragile brass model. Avoid dropping or knocking it against hard surfaces. For maintenance, check the wheels regularly for excessive wear. If the motor or gearbox noise becomes too loud, it might need some lubrication. Since it's unpainted, keep it away from moisture to prevent tarnishing. Store it in a cool, dry place in its original box to protect it from dust and damage.
