Using this HO scale gondola is easy. You can place it on your model train track and use it to represent waste or scrap - hauling operations in your model railroad setup. When handling the gondola, be gentle with the separately applied ladders and other small parts to avoid damage. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the surface of the gondola.

Keep the gondola away from extreme temperatures and moisture to prevent damage to the paint and the metal parts.
