This collectible caboose model is mainly for display purposes. To use it, simply take it out of the box and place it on a suitable model train layout. When handling, hold it gently as it's a fragile item. Store it in a dry and cool place to avoid any damage to the paint or the structure. If it gets dusty, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it clean. Don't use any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on it. When shipping the model back for a return, make sure to repack it in the original box and foam to prevent any damage during transit.
