Using this HO scale brass locomotive model is quite straightforward. Just place it on the track and power it up to watch it run. Since it has no lighting or couplers, you can choose to install them if you want to enhance the model. When handling the locomotive, be gentle as it's a fragile brass model. Avoid dropping it or applying too much force. For maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place to prevent tarnish. If there's any dust on it, you can use a soft brush to gently clean it. When shipping, rely on our professional packing to keep it safe, but once you receive it, handle with care to keep it in excellent condition.
