For the most part, no. But in some cases, yes. In my experience,(almost 2000 models built), flat cast kits that warped and were then flattened tend to stay flat if assembled straight away.

Thank you, I have some rather warped kits I’ve not built and this possible later warping was a concern. Best to ya, Mike Bauers Milwaukee, Wi

Mike, I've only built around 150 - 200 of them, and so far, I haven't seen that warpage problem reappear. That includes some of the early resin kits made from the metal filled dark grey resin and a

Once the warpage is corrected and after the model has been built....... Do some models warp eventually again??? Mike Bauers

Yes, we'll get an announcement out when we get a delivery date from InterMountain. We (ARM/MPHS) are doing two cars the original ART scheme and the 1951 scheme. Both runs will have six different

Thanks Craig (aka Zman) Yes Hubert has done an excellent set with both monograms and will do all SR boxcars from 1930's through the early 60's. The set is Mask Island No.87-168. Sorry this took so

I've chased trains over all of the branches serving the mines in western Wyoming. This was back in the 80's and 90's with my dad, who grew up in the area. I can assure you that there wasn't anything
