All this talk of Kinsman Kits reminded me that I long ago put the instructions for mine 'in a safe place'. I've spent months trying to find them.... tonight, I go straight to the train shed, and there they are in the first envelope I open!
I have the 7 Panel Box Car, and the GN Caboose. Also got a few Regal kit instructions. I will try to scan these at work, and post them. --- In [email protected], JGG KahnSr <jacekahn@...> wrote: > > > 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.
