This is a cool model. To use it, just place it on your model train track and enjoy watching it. Since it doesn't have lighting or backhead/interior details, you can focus on its overall look. When handling it, be gentle as it's a fragile brass model. Store it in a dry and safe place to prevent any damage. If you want to clean it, use a soft cloth. Remember, there are no spare parts, so take extra care. And if you're not happy with it, you can return it within 30 days, but you'll be responsible for the return shipping (except when it arrives damaged).
