Using your Otter Valley N Scale Scrap and Trash Gondola is easy. Simply connect it to your model train using the Microtrains type knuckle coupler. You can use it in both unit train and manifest train setups. When handling the gondola, be gentle to avoid damaging the separately applied ladders and other delicate parts. To keep it in good condition, store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight. Periodically, use a soft brush to clean the metal wheels and other components to remove dust. If you notice any loose parts, such as the coupler cut bars or air hoses, use a small tool to tighten them carefully. This will ensure that your gondola looks great and runs smoothly for a long time.
