Using this model is easy. You can display it in your collection or use it on a model train layout. When handling the model, be gentle as it's fragile, especially since it's a brass model. To maintain it, keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any damage to the color and structure. If you need to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth. When shipping it yourself, make sure to use proper packing materials to avoid any breakage. Remember, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days, but you'll be responsible for the return shipping costs unless the item arrived damaged.
