If you're a model train enthusiast and have this HO scale brass Akane SP Southern Pacific Cab Forward 4 - 8 - 8 - 2 tender, here's how to use and take care of it. When using, just place it on your model train track. Make sure the track is clean and smooth for the best movement. As for handling, be gentle because the buffer beam is already slightly bent and the model is fragile. When it comes to maintenance, since it's unpainted with minimal tarnish, you can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it occasionally to keep it clean. Don't use any harsh chemicals as they might damage the brass. When storing, put it back in the original box with the packing inserts to protect it from bumps and scratches. And remember, if you're shipping it back for a return, follow the shipping instructions provided to avoid any additional damage.
