Using this model is easy. Just place it on your model train track and enjoy watching it roll. When handling, be gentle as it's a fragile item. Keep it away from rough surfaces and sharp objects to avoid scratches. For storage, keep it in the original box and foam to protect it. If it gets dirty, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it. Don't use any harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Check the couplers regularly to make sure they're working properly. If you're shipping it, know that it's already packed well, but still handle with care during transit.
