Using this boxcar model is simple. Just place it on your model train track. It's ready to roll right out of the box. When handling, be gentle as it's a delicate item, especially since it's made of brass. For storage, keep it in the REBOXX box provided to protect it from dust and potential damage. If you notice any dirt or grime on the model, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it clean. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can scratch the paint. Also, when shipping it back for a return (if needed), follow our packing instructions to ensure it arrives safely.
