Using this N scale ACF 14,000 gallon kaolin tank car is simple. Just place it on your train track layout as you would with other train cars. When handling it, be gentle to avoid any damage to the delicate parts like the couplers. For maintenance, regularly clean the wheels with a soft, dry cloth to keep the car running smoothly. Also, check the safety bars and couplers from time to time to make sure they are in good condition. If you notice any loose parts, you can use a small amount of glue to fix them. Store the car in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the paint from fading.
