Using this Otter Valley N Scale gondola is easy. You can place it on your model train track and use it to simulate the transportation of scrap and trash or steel materials just like in real - world scenarios. When using it, make sure the track is clean and smooth to ensure the gondola moves properly. Also, be careful not to apply too much force when connecting or disconnecting it from other train cars to avoid damaging the couplers. For maintenance, you can use a soft brush to clean the wheels and the body regularly. Check the couplers and air hoses for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, you can replace the parts easily. Store the gondola in a dry and clean place when not in use to prevent rust and damage.
