Using this Otter Valley N Scale gondola model is easy. You can place it on your model train tracks just like any other car. It works well in both unit train and manifest train setups. When handling it, be gentle with the separately applied ladders and the Microtrains type Knuckle couplers to avoid breakage. To keep it in good condition, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. If it gets dirty, you can use a mild soap and water solution, but make sure to dry it thoroughly afterwards. Check the metal wheels and coupler cut bars from time to time to ensure they are in good working order. Avoid exposing the model to extreme temperatures or high humidity as it can damage the paint and other components.
