Using the Brio 33280 Freight Goods Station is super easy. First, use the crank - operated arm with the magnet to pick up the cargo from the passing trains and place it in the loading bay. Then, push the lever on the side of the station to lift the ramp and get the cargo onto the red tipper truck. The tipper truck is attached to the station with a magnet. While it's waiting, you can open the front cabinet to take a look at the engine. Once the truck reaches its destination, just lift the back compartment to drop off the cargo. When using, make sure to handle the small parts carefully as they are for children aged 3 and above. To maintain the product, keep it clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or rough play that could damage the magnetic couplings or other components. Store it in a safe place when not in use to prevent loss of small pieces.
