Using this HO scale boxcar is easy. Just place it on your model train tracks to add authenticity to your 1960s - 1980s layout. When handling the boxcar, be gentle as it's a delicate model. Avoid dropping it or applying too much force, which could damage parts like the ladders or couplers. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to gently clean the surface. If there's dust inside, use a can of compressed air to blow it out. Store the boxcar in a cool, dry place to prevent any warping or damage. Make sure to keep it away from direct sunlight and high humidity areas. Also, when storing, try to place it in a way that won't put pressure on the trucks or couplers.
