Using this model is easy. Just place it on your model railroad track and enjoy watching it move along. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a fragile item, especially since it's made of brass. To keep it in great condition, store it in the original box and foam when not in use. Avoid exposing it to moisture and extreme temperatures. If you need to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth. And don't forget to check the spare parts regularly in case you need to replace something. If you have any issues during use, feel free to contact us.
