Using this box car model is quite straightforward. Just handle it gently when taking it out of the box and placing it on your model train track. Since it doesn't have couplers, you'll need to add them on your own if you want to connect it to other cars. When it comes to storage, keep it in the original box and foam to prevent any damage. Make sure to store it in a dry and cool place to avoid any warping or discoloration. As for cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the surface. Don't use any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can scratch the factory paint. If you have any spare parts, keep them in a safe place so you can use them if needed. Remember, this is a delicate model, so handle it with care to keep it in excellent condition.
