Using this caboose model is mainly for display or as part of a model train collection. When handling it, be gentle because it's a fragile item, especially with the brass parts. Keep it away from sharp objects to avoid scratches. To maintain it, you can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off dust regularly. If you notice more tarnish over time, you can use a mild brass cleaner following the cleaner's instructions. When storing, put it back in the original box if possible to protect it from dust and accidental bumps. And always remember to check for any loose parts before moving or showing it off.
