or more for the one kit out of six I really wanted, I opted to pass up on
it."
Mark,
I have two of these kits, one built and one still in the box. They
are quite crude in a way, and I was never happy with the one of them
which I built. I even took it apart and used the kit ends on a Red
Caboose car instead. I still didn't like it and I have never finished
it. Among other things, the ends seem overly thick, and the body side
tabs, which are separate pieces, are rather "clunky" (is that a RR term of the
art?).
I'm waiting eagerly for the Intermountain version.
