Why this model matters

How to use it
Place the wagon on clean N gauge track and couple it to compatible locomotives or other rolling stock. Because it is non-powered, its movement depends on the pulling locomotive; ensure couplers and wheels are clean for smooth operation. Store the model carefully when not in use to preserve its finish and printed detail.
