Using this tank car model is simple. You can display it on your model train layout right out of the box. Since it doesn't have couplers, you'll need to attach your own if you want to connect it to other cars. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a brass model and can be a bit fragile. Keep it away from sharp objects to avoid scratches on the paint. For storage, place it back in the original box and foam to protect it. If you notice any dust on the model, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it clean. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the paint or the metal parts.
