Using this model train car is easy. Just place it on your model train track, and it'll look great running along with other cars in your collection. When handling the car, be gentle as it's a fragile item, especially since it's made of brass. To keep it in good condition, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. You can use a soft, dry cloth to gently dust it every now and then. If you need to clean it more thoroughly, use a mild cleaner specifically designed for model trains. Make sure to dry it completely before putting it back in storage or on the track. Also, be careful when attaching it to other cars using the Kadees couplers to avoid any damage.
