Using this HO scale brass city car is easy. Just place it on the appropriate track and power it up to watch it run smoothly. When handling the car, be gentle as it's a fragile item. Keep it away from sharp objects and rough surfaces to avoid scratches. To maintain it, you can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust. If there's tarnish, you can use a mild brass cleaner carefully. When storing, keep it in the original box and foam to protect it. Remember, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or high humidity, as this can damage the brass and the components. Also, make sure to check the motor and wheels periodically for any signs of excessive wear or noise. If you notice any issues, contact us for assistance.
