Using this caboose model is easy. You can simply place it on your model train track to add a touch of the 1930s charm. Since there are no couplers installed, if you want to connect it to other train cars, you'll need to attach couplers using the existing mounting screws. When handling the caboose, be gentle as it's a fragile brass item. Avoid dropping it or applying too much pressure. For maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place to prevent corrosion. You can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it if it gets dusty. If you're shipping it back for a return, make sure to repack it well to avoid damage during transit.
