When handling the boxcar, be gentle to avoid damaging the small parts like the ladders and couplers. For maintenance, you can use a soft brush to clean the exterior and wheels regularly. Make sure to store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any color fading or warping. If you notice any loose parts, use a small amount of glue suitable for model trains to reattach them.
