Using this tank car is easy. Just place it on your model railroad tracks. When handling, be gentle as it's a delicate brass model. Keep it away from sharp objects to avoid scratches. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off dust regularly. If you want to paint it in the future, make sure to clean the surface first. When storing, keep it in the original box and foam to protect it from damage. And remember, if you're not happy with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund, just pay the return shipping (unless the item arrived damaged).
