Using this HO scale ranch car model is simple. Just place it on your model train track and enjoy. When handling the model, be gentle as it's fragile, especially since it's a brass model. For storage, keep it in the original box and foam to protect it from scratches and damage. Check the diaphragms regularly to make sure they're in good condition. If you need to clean the model, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using any harsh chemicals as they may damage the paint or the body of the model. When shipping the model back (if needed), make sure to pack it well following the same high - quality packing standards we use.
