Using this HO scale brass freight car model is easy. Just place it on your model train track and let it roll with the rest of your train set. When handling the model, be gentle as it's made of brass and can be a bit fragile. Avoid dropping it or applying too much force. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent tarnishing. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it clean every once in a while. If you notice any dirt in hard - to - reach areas, use a small brush. Don't use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on it as they can damage the finish. When storing, keep it in the original box and foam to protect it from scratches and impacts. Enjoy adding this unique model to your collection!
