Using this model is easy. Just place it on your model train track and enjoy watching it fit in with your collection. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a fragile item. Avoid dropping it or applying too much pressure. To maintain it, keep it in a dry and clean place. You can use a soft cloth to gently wipe away any dust. If you notice any tarnish, you can use a mild metal cleaner suitable for brass, but test it on a small, hidden area first. Also, make sure to store it in the original box and foam when not in use to protect it from scratches and damage.
