Using this model is easy. Just place it on your train track gently. It's designed to run smoothly with the right trucks and wheelsets. When handling, be careful not to touch the paint as it's in excellent condition and you don't want to cause any scratches. Store it in the original box and foam when not in use to protect it from dust and damage. If you notice any dirt on the model, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it. Don't use any harsh chemicals or cleaners as they might damage the paint or the parts. And remember, since it's a brass model, it's a bit fragile, so always handle it with care.
