Using this caboose model is easy. Just place it on your model train track to add a touch of realism to your Canadian Pacific Railway setup. When handling it, be gentle as it's a delicate item, especially due to the brass construction. Avoid dropping it or applying too much pressure on parts like the couplers and trucks. For maintenance, keep it in a dry and dust - free place. You can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away any dust. If you want to clean it more thoroughly, use a mild soap and water solution, but make sure to dry it completely to prevent rust or damage to the paint. Also, store it in the original box and foam when not in use to protect it from scratches and other damages.
