Using this pulpwood flatcar is easy. Just place it on your model train track like you would with other cars. When handling it, be gentle as it's a fragile item. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust. If there are any stubborn marks, you can use a mild cleaner, but make sure to dry it thoroughly. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent any damage. When shipping, we've packed it well, but still, handle it with care after receiving it.
