Using this HO brass tri - level auto rack is easy. Just place it on your model train track as you would with other models. When handling, be gentle as it's a fragile item. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent paint fading. If it gets dirty, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it clean. Don't use any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the paint or the metal parts. When shipping it back (if needed), make sure to repack it well to avoid any damage during transit.
