Using this HO scale brass caboose model is simple. Just place it on your model train track and enjoy watching it roll along with your train set. When handling the caboose, be gentle as it's a fragile item, especially since it's made of brass. To keep it in good condition, store it in its 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. The caboose comes with spare parts, but use them only if necessary. If you have any other questions or concerns about using or maintaining this model, feel free to contact us.
