Using this Athearn Roundhouse HO Scale box car is a breeze. Just take it out of the box, and it's ready to run on your model train track. Make sure the track has a radius of at least 18 inches to avoid any issues. When handling the car, be gentle with the separately applied roof walk and brake wheel as they can be delicate. For maintenance, keep it clean from dust and debris. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it down. If the wheels seem to be getting a bit sticky, you can use a small amount of model train lubricant. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent any damage to the painted and printed details.
