[NW Modeling List]

The American Model Builders is a fine kit. If one takes,their time and works carefully it will turn out fine. The question of trucks Athern announced a couple of months ago they were bringing out a caboose that do have the right-ish trucks. But go ahead if you wpuld like and build one. Remember this hobby is about challenging ones skills to improve as well as having funDean Taylor

As mentioned, this is probably not the kit to choose for your first one ever.  Its construction will be more closely related to building laser-cut wood structures from companies like Blair Line and American Model Builders than most plastic freight car kits.  I find most laser-cut kits go together very well, they are just delicate and have more parts than most plastic kits, so they are time consuming.
