Using this locomotive is quite straightforward. Just connect it to an analog DC power source, and it will start running. When handling it, be gentle as it's a fragile item, especially being a brass model. To maintain it, keep it in a dry and clean place to prevent further tarnish. Check the wheels regularly for any signs of wear. If there's any increase in motor or gearbox noise, it might be a sign that it needs some lubrication. When shipping it back for a return, make sure to pack it well to avoid any damage during transit. Also, always use the appropriate power source as specified to avoid any electrical issues.
