I just received one of the "Taurus Products" 20 ft. Ore Car kits today... and 
I'm not sure what the deal is with the kit, because the label on the end of the 
box says Trout Creek Engineering, and the large label on the top of the box 
shows a drawing of "Bentley" (the bull, I guess) and the name Taurus Products 
which someone has made a poor attempt to black out with a marker.  So are we to 
assume that Trout Creek has bought out the Taurus Products brand? Curious...

But Regardless...

... At first (and second) look, this appears to be an EXTREMELY nice kit!!!  
The instructions and drawings are VERY WELL done, and the wood parts even have 
color-coded ends to indicate the correct part the instructions are referring 
to.  In addition to this, the parts are separately bagged (for different stages 
of assembly) to insure that the parts for each stage of assembly don't get 
confused with other similarly-sized parts that are for use on another stage of 
assembly.  The cast and/or injected parts appear to be very well made, as well 
are the etched parts.  I am so impressed with this craftsman kit that I may 
just buy a few more.

The link below will take you to the Walthers page for the item, but there is no 
photo.  If anyone is interested in a scan of any part of this kit, just let me 
know :
