Using this model is simple. Just take it out of the box and place it on your model train track for display. You can show it off on its own or include it in a larger train setup. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a fragile item, especially since it's made of brass. To keep it in good condition, store it in the original box and foam when not in use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity as this could damage the paint or the metal parts. If you need to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away any dust.
