Yes Hansel was quite a modeler and manufacturer. His kits had mostly hand-drawn plans and typed instructions.
When he sold his stuff I bought his 86' high cube boxcar. It has a working cushion underframe and "spinner" roller bearing trucks. I wanted to purchase that Main Central operating wrecking crane but I just couldn't afford it at the time.
