Using this car is easy. Just add it to your train set as part of the 'Valley Flyer' consist. When handling, be gentle as it's a fragile item. For storage, keep it in the original box and foam to prevent damage. If it gets dirty, use a soft, dry cloth to clean it. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the brass or cause more tarnishing. When shipping, rest assured that we pack it 'bullet - proof' to ensure it arrives safely. If you're not satisfied with your purchase, let us know within 30 days and we'll refund your money, but you'll be responsible for return shipping unless the item arrives damaged.
