Using this locomotive model is easy. First, make sure you have an appropriate analog - DC power source. Connect the locomotive to the power source and turn it on to start it running. Since the bulbs are installed but not hooked up, if you want the lighting feature, you may need to connect them yourself. When handling the locomotive, be gentle as it's a fragile item. Avoid dropping or rough handling. For maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place to prevent further tarnish. If you notice any excessive noise or issues with the motor, it might be a good idea to check the gearbox. Regularly inspect the wheels for any signs of wear and clean them if necessary.
