How to use

Place the assembled model on a flat, stable surface or on compatible model railway track for display.

Usage recommendations

Use a clean, dust-free display area or enclosed cabinet to protect fine details. When integrating the model into an active layout, verify track compatibility and allow sufficient clearance for the model’s width. For cleaning, use a soft brush or air blower and avoid solvents that could affect paint or decals.
