Using this O Scale caboose kit is a fun project. First, since only the underframe is started, you can pick up where it left off and continue building the rest of the caboose according to your preference. You'll need to find your own trucks and couplers to complete it. When handling the kit, be gentle as these models are fragile, especially the brass parts. For storage, keep it in a dry and cool place to prevent any damage to the wood and brass. If you want to paint or decorate the caboose later, make sure to clean the surface first. And if you have any problems during the building process, feel free to contact us. Remember, we offer a 30 - day no - questions - asked money - back policy if you're not satisfied.
