Using this caboose model is simple. You can place it on your HO scale train track to enhance your train layout. When handling it, be gentle as it's a fragile brass model. To maintain it, keep it in a dry and dust - free place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity as this can damage the paint or the structure. If you need to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the surface. When storing, make sure to put it back in the original box and foam to protect it from scratches and impacts. Also, if you plan to install couplers, use the included mounting screws carefully. And remember, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund.
