Using this stock car is simple. Just place it on your model train track and let it roll. It's ready to go right out of the box. When handling the car, be gentle as it's a delicate model. Avoid dropping it or applying too much force. For maintenance, keep it in a dry and dust-free place. You can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior if it gets dirty. Don't use any harsh chemicals or solvents as they might damage the paint or the brass material. If you want to replace any parts, the spare parts included are there for you. Just make sure to follow basic model-building techniques when making replacements. And always refer to the box and its foam for proper storage to prevent any damage during long-term storage.
