Using this model train is quite straightforward. First, make sure you have a compatible analog DC power source. Connect the locomotive to the tracks and turn on the power. You'll notice it runs very smoothly. When it comes to maintenance, since the wheel wear is almost none, you don't need to worry too much about the wheels for now. But it's a good idea to keep an eye on the motor and gearbox. If the noise level starts to increase, it might be a sign that it needs some attention. You can use a light lubricant to keep the moving parts working well. The model is unpainted with mild tarnish. If you want to clean it, use a soft cloth to gently wipe the surface. Be careful not to damage the details. When handling the train, hold it by the sturdier parts like the locomotive body or the tender. Avoid touching the couplers too roughly to prevent any damage. For storage, keep it in the original box and foam to protect it from dust and potential impacts. And remember, this is a delicate item, so handle it with care.
