Using this HO scale Walthers Proto covered hopper is easy. Just place it on your HO railroad tracks and it's ready to start transporting grains. Since it's fully assembled, you don't have to spend time putting it together. When handling it, be gentle with the factory - installed grab irons and the see - through etched - metal walkways as they are delicate. To keep it in good condition, regularly clean the ultra - smooth rolling 36' RP - 25 turned wheelsets to prevent dirt buildup which could affect its movement. Also, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture as this could damage the paint and lettering. Remember, this is a limited - quantity item, so take good care of it.
