Using this New York Central Diner model is easy. Just take it out of the box and place it on your O scale train track. Since it doesn't come with trucks, you'll need to make sure you have the right ones if you want to run it. When handling the model, be gentle as it's made of brass and can be a bit fragile. Keep it away from sharp objects and rough surfaces to avoid scratches. To maintain it, you can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust or fingerprints. If there's some tarnish, you can use a mild brass cleaner, but be careful not to use too much pressure. Store it in a cool, dry place in its original box to protect it from damage. If you have any questions during use, feel free to contact us.
