Rob,

Glad my instructions are well-liked. This is my 2nd kit using a mini-CD but is now "the norm". I put a lot of effort into taking in-process photos, including history and writing clear step by step notes. My Design Engineer training is probably obvious! Using a mini-CD allows up to about 200 mB of info at a VERY cheap price and provides a medium for all-color info, which is very costly to print using traditional methods, like a laser printer. The .pdf format allows you to zoom in on the high-rez model pix and the medium- to high-rez proto pix. John Cantley's underframe pix of an M53 in Parrish Fl really "made" the instructions ... I couldn't have designed the underframe with so much detail without those pix.

One of the best features in the kit is the mini-disc instructions. They are the best instruction sheet I have seen for a resin kit. Now I can finally finish my Sunshine Duryea underframes.

Jim,

Since I couldn't make it to Naperville, I appreciate the production sample pics you sent. I think the detail is superb and I dont see the problem with the ladders or any of the detail for that matter. The size of the photos show far more than will be seen on the track (especially in HO) but I would say you have done a great job.

From what I understand sales went well at the show. Suppose I'll have to get my order in. Congratulations on a job well done.
