When handling, be careful not to damage the scale thickness end railings or the extended wide vision cupola. For maintenance, regularly check the Barber Swingmaster roller bearing trucks and the 33' turned metal RP - 25 wheelsets. If you want to add grab irons, use the Caboose Detail Kit (910 - 201) and follow the molded drill starter points. Keep it in a dry place to prevent rust and damage. Since it's a limited - quantity item, handle it with extra care.
