Using this model is easy. Just place it on your train track and enjoy watching it move. Since it has working doors, you can open and close them for added fun. When handling the model, be gentle as it's made of brass and can be a bit fragile. Keep it away from sharp objects to avoid scratches. To maintain it, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust. If there's a bit of tarnish, you can use a mild brass cleaner, but test it on a small, hidden area first. When storing, keep it in its original box and foam to protect it from damage.
