Using your HO scale brass model train is a breeze. Just connect it to a DC power source for analog control. When you power it on, it'll start running smoothly and quietly. It's important to note that this is a delicate model. When handling, make sure to hold it gently to avoid any damage to the couplers or other parts. For maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust regularly. If you notice any issues with the running, like increased noise or reduced speed, it might be time to have it serviced again. Since it's a brass model, try to avoid exposing it to moisture for long periods as it could cause tarnishing. And always keep the original box and packaging safe in case you need to store or transport the model.
