Setup, Compatibility & Care
Building the Faller 120287 requires a dedicated workspace, a sharp hobby knife for trimming parts from the sprue, and high-quality plastic cement. It is compatible with all standard HO scale tracks. To ensure long-term durability, keep the completed model away from direct, high-intensity sunlight to prevent plastic warping or fading. Dust the structure periodically using a soft-bristle brush or a low-pressure air canister to maintain the intricate beam detailing.
