I picked up the instruction sheet for a Kinsman ventilated boxcar some years
ago, long before I bought my first S scale car and enjoyed reading it and
mentally
assembling the kit; a few months ago I bought the Amity re-issue of that kit
from the Hoquat estate offerings (some changes, not necessarily improvements).
And I own a Kinsman milk car kit--otherwise, nothing. I have a Scenery
Unlimited refrigerator kit that I think I understand from the list is a
re-issue of the Kinsman
cars.
My Susquehanna Northern has been stripped and repainted as an MKT boxcar,
greatly improving its appearance; perhaps not the CML, however.
