Using your HOn3 scale Brass Balboa model train is easy. First, make sure it's connected to a suitable analog DC power source. You can then control its speed and direction with your DC controller. When you're done using it, turn off the power to avoid any electrical issues. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place to prevent tarnishing. Since it has a 'Pancake' style open - frame motor, it's a good idea to check the motor periodically for any dust or debris. You can use a soft, dry brush to gently clean it. When handling the train, be careful not to put too much pressure on the wheels or other delicate parts. If you ever need to replace any of the spare parts, refer to the paperwork that came with the train. Also, if you plan to store it for a long time, make sure it's properly packed in the provided original box with the replacement foam to protect it from damage.
