Using this railroad car model is mainly for display purposes. You can place it on your model train layout to enhance its authenticity. When handling it, be gentle due to its fragile nature, especially the slightly bent steps which can break easily. To maintain it, keep it in a dry and dust - free place. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for long periods as this can cause the staining on the roof to worsen and may lead to more tarnishing. If you need to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the surface. Don't use any harsh chemicals as they can damage the brass.
