Using this caboose model is mainly for display purposes. You can place it on your model train layout to add a touch of authenticity. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a fragile item, especially since it's made of brass. To keep it in good condition, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and high humidity. You can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe off any dust that accumulates over time. If you notice any minor tarnish, you can use a mild brass cleaner following the cleaner's instructions. When shipping or storing the model, always use the original box and foam to protect it from damage. Remember, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days, but you'll be responsible for the return shipping cost unless the item arrives damaged.
