Using your HO scale brass model train is easy. Just connect it to an analog DC power source and watch it run smoothly on your tracks. When handling the train, be gentle as it's a delicate item. For maintenance, keep an eye on the wheels. Although the wheel wear is currently moderate, regular inspection can help you catch any issues early. If you notice the motor or gearbox making more noise than the current 4 out of 10 level, it might be time for a service. To clean the model, use a soft, dry cloth to avoid scratching the custom paint. When storing the train, make sure to keep it in the original box with the replacement foam to protect it from damage. Remember, this model is a collectible and hard - to - find, so take good care of it.
