Using this boxcar model is simple. Just place it on your HO scale train track and enjoy watching it roll along. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a fragile item, especially the brass parts. For maintenance, keep it in a dry and dust - free place. If it gets dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it clean. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the custom paint job. Also, make sure to store it in the original box and foam when not in use to protect it from scratches and impacts. And don't forget to check the working side doors and other moving parts regularly to ensure they stay in good condition.
