Using this model train is easy. Just place it on your HO scale train track and let it roll. Since it has no couplers, you might need to attach them if you want to connect it to other cars. When handling the train, be gentle as it's made of brass and can be fragile. For storage, keep it in the original box and cardboard wrapper to protect it from dust and scratches. If you notice any dirt on the train, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it clean. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the paint. If you plan to display it, make sure the area is stable and won't be easily knocked over. And remember, if you have any issues with the product, our 30 - day satisfaction guarantee has you covered.
