Using your HO brass covered hopper is simple. You can add it to your model railroad track and let it roll along just like a real hopper car. When handling the hopper, be gentle as it's a fragile brass model. Keep it away from sharp objects to avoid scratches. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust. If there's a bit of tarnish over time, you can use a mild brass cleaner, but test it on a small, hidden area first. Store it in its original box and foam when not in use to protect it from damage. Make sure to check the couplers and trucks regularly to ensure they're in good working condition. When shipping, rely on our professional packing, but still handle the package with care upon arrival.
