Jace, I own one that my friend Tom Henderson found for me that is fairly
nicely built so I can't help with the construction. At one time I did
own the kit, which was a work of art at the time.
Years ago Kent Singer who is an expert modeler (from our past) got his
club members to all build their kits together with some wonderful
results. If you can get a hold of past Dispatch convention issues from
the late 80's you will see several fine examples of that fine kit.
I have a couple of the Sunshine gondola/plow kits that are near the
bottom of my 'someday' pile of things to do. It actually suits my
branchline railroading better.
