This B&M wood caboose model is a great collectible. When you get it, just take it out of the box gently. Since one end step is a bit bent, be careful not to put too much pressure on it. For display, you can place it on a flat surface in your model train collection area. To keep it in good condition, avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the custom paint. Also, keep it away from moisture to prevent any damage to the plastic and decals. If you want to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the surface. That's it, enjoy your unique caboose model!
