Using this model is quite straightforward. Just connect it to an analog - DC power source, and it should start running well. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a fragile item. Since it has a cast coupler on the pilot and Kadee couplers on the tender, make sure to connect other parts carefully to avoid damage. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels for any signs of wear, although currently, the wheel wear is almost none. Keep it in a dry place to prevent any tarnish. If you notice the drivetrain noise increasing, it might be a sign that some parts need lubrication. When storing, keep it in the original box and foam to protect it.
