When handling the hopper, be careful not to drop it as the die-cast metal underframe can get damaged. For maintenance, gently clean the wheelsets with a soft cloth to keep them rolling smoothly. Also, check the Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers regularly to make sure they're working properly. If you notice any loose parts, you can use a small amount of glue to fix them, but be careful not to get glue on other parts of the model.
