Using this HO scale boxcar is easy. Just place it on your model train tracks and couple it to other cars in your train. When handling, be gentle to avoid damaging the separate ladders, hand brake, and door rods. To keep it looking great, use a soft, dry cloth to dust it regularly. If there are stubborn stains, you can use a very mild soap and water solution, but make sure to dry it thoroughly right away. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or high humidity as this can damage the paint and the overall structure. When storing, keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the lettering and paint details.
