When handling the model, be gentle to avoid any damage to the delicate parts like the separately applied ladders and coupler cut bars. To keep it in good condition, regularly clean the metal wheels with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dust and debris from affecting its movement. You can also use a small brush to clean hard - to - reach areas like the underbody. Store the model in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the paint and lettering from fading over time. If you notice any loose parts, you can use a small amount of model glue to reattach them carefully.
