Using this ATLAS HO scale tank car is easy. You can simply place it on your model train track as part of your collection or display.

Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading. Also, check the connection points regularly to make sure everything is secure. If you notice any loose parts, you can use a small amount of glue to fix them, but be careful not to get glue on other areas. Have fun with your tank car and enjoy building your model train world!
