This HO brass model is a great collectible. When you get it, carefully take it out of the box. Since it has no couplers, you may need to install them if you want to connect it to other cars. As it's in excellent condition with factory paint and lettering, avoid rough handling to prevent scratches. Keep it in a dry and dust - free place to maintain its look. If you need to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth. For shipping, we've packed it well, but still be gentle when unpacking. If you're not satisfied with your purchase, just let us know within 30 days, and we'll arrange a return. Remember, you'll be responsible for return shipping unless the item arrived damaged.
