This HO brass model is a great collectible. When you receive it, carefully take it out of the box. Since it has no lighting, you don't need to worry about any electrical issues. Just display it in a place where it won't get knocked over. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away any dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the paint or decals. When packing it for storage or moving, use the original box and foam to protect it. Remember, it's a fragile item, so handle it with care. If you're shipping it back for a return, make sure to follow our packing instructions to avoid any damage during transit.
