Using this HO brass caboose model is easy. You can simply place it on your model train track. When handling it, be gentle as it's a fragile item. To keep it in good condition, avoid touching it with dirty hands as it can cause tarnishing. Store it in a dry place, preferably in the original box and foam to protect it from scratches. If you notice any minor tarnish, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it. When shipping it, rest assured that we've packed it very well, but still handle with care during transit. And don't forget, if you're not satisfied, you can return it within 30 days.
