Hi Jace, 26 is not the end of the world so that is good.
The seller is taking it back less postage? if so that is great. I got taken in some other interest, one 146 and one 650, as someone told me at the end of the bid the 146 item was a fake, a time when you contact the winner on eBay so the seller reversed the charge and the other guy took the item back, as he charge me his eBay fee? of 18 as postage was 30 in total, So I was lucky only to loose 50. I could of contested the eBay fee but did not. the 146 item was a milk bottle and the 650 was a AF engine, as he blamed me on this, as he said nothing was broken. Ahh, but the tender steps where re-glued which effected the value. I know this is not AF talk, but just a few eBay examples I hope this all works out for you.

There is not a crisis, as he has responded and seems like a reasonable person, but I wanted to see what experience other list members had had with this kit, if any. Or, if I were more of a PRR fan (I have ONE SHS SW-9 plus the aforementioned Kaslo caboose bought to go with it), I suppose I could have bought one of the SWM brass ones Bert Cutler was selling a few weeks ago.
