Links to instruction pages for each kit, as well as gallery photos, are placed here as they are finished.
These kits are not for beginners. Please read the instructions
before purchasing a kit to make sure that you can complete the
assembly. If you are having trouble deciding which trucks to use, the chart listed below may be of some help.
The cars are not designed for any specific prototype and best represent those that were around at the turn of the 20th century. They range from about 22' to 26' in length, but are easily modified by the scratch builder. The kits are also appropriate for On2 models. In fact, the narrow flatcar has a 6' wide frame which is the same as the Maine 2 footers. You can combine parts from a boxcar or reefer with the narrow frame and floor to get an On2 model. If you are interested in this or other possible kit combinations, contact us. Also of note, I recently received my copy of Slim Gauge Cars, 2nd Edition from Carstens. This 128 page book is a must have for the narrow gauge car builder with many photos and dimensions for numerous cars. It is available at your hobby shop or on line. For that fact, I even have ideas for some new kits. |
