Using this train car model is easy. Just place it on your HO scale train track and enjoy watching it roll along. When handling, be gentle as it's a delicate brass model. For storage, keep it in the original box and foam to protect it from scratches and damage. To maintain its appearance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust. If there's a bit more tarnish over time, you can use a mild brass cleaner, but make sure to follow the cleaner's instructions. Remember, since it has no lighting, you won't need to worry about replacing bulbs. And if you want to add couplers later, you can find suitable ones at your local hobby store. Enjoy your collectible train car!
