F&C kits
|
Gatwood, Elden J SAD
_ Folks;
I just finished one of the F&C B&M well flats, and have to say it was great fun. It is a nice little kit, and is so different from what I have been building that it was very entertaining. If you have not built one of these, you may want to try one. I am also in process on one of F&C's PRR X26C kits, and find it to be one of the best resin kits I have worked on. The one-piece body casting is very nice, with no bowing or skew. The ladders and roofwalk are weak, but I replace them regularly on most everything, so no big deal. I am looking forward to this! If you have not built any F&C kits recently, you ought to pick one up. They fill out some gaps in your fleet quite nicely. Elden Gatwood |

WOW! A very positive review of an F&C kit. What's this world coming to?

I can back Eldon up on this one, I bought 2 of the F&C X26C kits (Both Door Styles), very nice kit. F&C is making great strides on the newer kits and plans to go back and redo all older kits to one piece bodies over time. Ron Smith Carman UPRR ----- Original Message -----
