The Railmaster kit will need to be cleaned. Each joint needs to be cleaned up and smoothed out for a good fit. Do each joint and fit check assembly before glueing/soldering. You will have to follow the instruction to regauge the wheel sets on the Athearn unit. I have heard that a Kato unit is easier to do. Paul

I have one on my very long to-build pile. I like 'critters'. Yes, it's a flat kit. An older Athearn SW1500 drive will work as should others. I'm planning on doing a standard guage version - the SP#1 in its final configuration.

Has anyone built one of the Railmaster kits and can give me some insight on the process and quality of the results? Looks like it's a white metal casting flat kit? and needs a modified HO drive which I'm wondering how hard that is to pull off successfully? :>) ...DaveBranum > > > >------------------------------------ > >Yahoo!
