Using this O scale caboose is simple. Just place it on your model train track and enjoy. When handling, be gentle as it's a delicate brass model. To keep it in good condition, avoid touching the painted surface with dirty hands. If it gets dusty, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it clean. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in the original box and foam to protect it from damage. When shipping or moving it, make sure it's packed securely to prevent any breakage. And remember, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund, minus the return shipping cost (unless it arrived damaged).
