Using this HO brass model is quite straightforward. Since it has an analog DC - only control, you just need to connect it to a suitable DC power source to make it run. When running, keep in mind that there's a moderate motor/gearbox noise, but it won't affect the operation. It runs well overall.
As for maintenance, because it was recently serviced with the drive tube replaced, gearbox cleaned, and lubricated, it's in good shape. However, over time, you might want to check the wheel wear periodically. If you notice excessive wear, it could affect the running performance. Also, make sure to store it in its original box and foam when not in use to protect it from damage.
When shipping, we take great care to pack it 'bullet - proof'. But once you receive it, open the package carefully. If you're not satisfied with your purchase, let us know within 30 days, and we'll give you a full refund. Just be aware that you'll be responsible for return shipping costs, unless the item arrives damaged. And when making a payment, use one of our accepted methods like major credit cards, PayPal, etc.
