Using this model is quite simple. Just place it on your model railway track and enjoy how it looks in your setup. When handling it, be careful as it's a fragile item, especially around the areas where the paint has flaked off and the missing step. To maintain it, keep it in a dry and clean place. Avoid touching the painted parts too often to prevent further paint loss. If you need to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth. For shipping, rest assured that we pack it very well to prevent damage during transit. If you have any concerns about the product, don't hesitate to contact us, and we'll do our best to help.
