Subject: {S-Scale List} Des Plaines Wood Caboose
>I havent been on the list for a while, dont know if this is old business
> or new. The Des Plaines flyer mentioned some wood caboose kits. They
> were produced excusively for Des Plaines Hobbies by Mullet River Model
> Works.
>
> I ordered two CNW kits, as usual the service was good.
>
> These kits are wonderful. For me at least this is not a one day project,
> but this kit really goes together well. Its laser cut, which is nice for
> a wood caboose. It includes interior detail and a removable roof. The
> laser cutting on the sashes and doors appears to be exact scale and is
> fragile. The ends and walls are scribed interior and exterior, laminated
> over a core. This makes a solid model and alows for slots in the center
> core. They allow the windows to slide open and closed. Etched brass
> sheet includes bolsters, end and center sills along with stifners and some
> details. You need a small brake to bend some of the etched parts.
>
> Although everything is drilled for railings and grab irons you need to
> purchase wire separately along with trucks and some addition brake detail
> parts.
>
> I am enjoying this kit and it will be something to be proud of when I
> finish.

> PS Ron, what is an "etch mate".
