This HO scale brass caboose is a great collectible. When you receive it, first carefully take it out of the box, as it's a fragile item. Since there's no window glazing installed, be extra careful not to break the window areas. There are no spare parts, so handle it gently. As for use, you can display it in your model train collection. It has metal wheels and Kadee couplers, which are quite sturdy. If you plan to run it on a track, make sure the track is clean and smooth. Maintenance is simple. Keep it in a dry and dust - free place. If it gets dirty, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it. Remember, both airhoses are broken off, so don't try to move them. If you have any issues, contact the seller within 30 days for a no - questions - asked money - back policy, just be ready to pay for return shipping if the item isn't damaged on arrival.
