Using this model train car is simple. Just place it on your HO scale model train track and connect it to other cars if you have them. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a fragile item. To maintain it, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away any dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the model as they might damage the brass or the tarnish effect. If you need to store it, keep it in the original box and foam to protect it from scratches and impacts. When shipping, we've already packed it very well, but if you need to move it yourself, try to keep it in a stable position to prevent any breakage. And remember, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days.
