How to use it
Assemble the plastic components according to the included instructions, using compatible model glue. Place the completed roundhouse adjacent to your HO track, ideally near a manual or motorised turntable (sold separately) to align entry tracks with the stalls. Clean up any moulding lines and apply weathering paints to enhance realism. Ensure tracks leading into the roundhouse are properly aligned and supported for smooth locomotive placement during layout operation.
