Using this locomotive model is straightforward. Just connect it to an analog - DC power source, and it should start running well. When handling, be gentle as it's a fragile item, especially since it's a brass model. For maintenance, keep an eye on the wheel wear. Although it currently has minimal wear, regular inspection can help ensure smooth operation. Every now and then, check the gearbox. Since the old lube has been replaced recently, you won't need to do this for a while, but over time, you may need to clean and re - lubricate it. Store the model in its original box with the bubble wrap to protect it from scratches and damage. If you have any spare parts, keep them in a safe place and use them when needed.
