Using your HO scale brass railway parlor car is easy. Simply place it on your railway track and couple it with other cars using the Kadee couplers. It doesn't have lighting, so you don't need to worry about electrical connections. When handling the car, be gentle as it's a fragile brass model. Keep it away from sharp objects to avoid scratches. For storage, use the original box and foam to protect it. If you need to use the spare parts, such as the standard width diaphragms, do it carefully. Regularly check the wheels and couplers for any signs of wear. Clean the car with a soft, dry cloth to keep it looking great. If you have any issues or concerns, don't hesitate to contact us.
