Using this model train is easy. Just place it on your model train track and start enjoying. When handling it, be gentle as it's a delicate item. Keep it away from sharp objects to avoid scratches. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust. If you notice more tarnish over time, you can use a mild brass cleaner, but test it on a small, hidden area first. Store it in its original box when not in use to protect it from damage. And don't forget, if you have any spare parts, keep them in a safe place for future use.
