Using this HO scale brass dome sleeper is straightforward. Just place it on your model train track and enjoy watching it add charm to your layout. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a fragile item. Avoid dropping or knocking it against hard surfaces. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe off any dust. If there's minor tarnish, a brass cleaner can be used carefully following the cleaner's instructions. Store it in the original box and foam when not in use to protect it from damage. Remember, one end stirrup step is missing, so don't be alarmed when you notice it. And always check the item upon arrival. If you're not satisfied, let us know within 30 days for a refund, but you'll be responsible for return shipping unless the item arrived damaged.
