That is true for the freight car kits, but the passenger car kits have some features that are difficult or very time-consuming to do at home. For instance, the clerestory roofs are routed out so you can see light through the windows. The window openings are die cut, so they are all identical and straight. The sides have belt detail routed in place. Although the earliest of these cars were built by Laconia, the ones I am modeling (and the prototype for the Kinsman kits) were built by the Boston & Maine well into the 1920s and had wood bodies on steel frames. The windows on the Laconia cars were rounded at the top corners; the B&M cars had rectangular windows. -Wes

If a guy has a copy of the plans in these kits he really doesn't need the kits! J.Rustermier [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
