Using this model is simple. Just place it on your model train track and enjoy watching it roll. When handling, be gentle as it's a fragile item, especially being made of brass. To keep it in good condition, store it in the original box when not in use. If it gets dirty, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it clean. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For shipping, we've packed it carefully, but if you need to move it yourself, make sure to secure it well. And if you're not satisfied with your purchase, let us know within 30 days for a hassle - free refund.
