All Nation Line makes these parts available for modelers not into 3D Printing. We are all about introducing new modelers to the hobby with a low cost easy to assemble kit that helps entry level kit builders improve their skills. Their effort is rewarded with a very nice looking historical traction model that can be made to operate on trolley layouts or modular layouts to interoperate freight operations between railroads and traction companies.
The key to assembly is keeping all parts square when gluing up the components and clamping until the glue sets. Most glue joint line work is not visible if done right. If there are any slight gaps, use Loctite Extreme Glue or J B Weld Kwik to fill in the cracks/seams and then sand smooth. The Loctite has some body to it similar to Bondo. CA glue can also be used but not for filling in any gaps unless it is a gel type. The body is printed using ABS plastic of various colors. The roof and floor pieces must be matched up, typically the center of the roof is glued end to end and then the side pieces added thereafter.
The kit does provide some of the detail for under body detail.
This kit does not include the trucks, couplers or additional detail parts such as grab irons. Some part colors may vary.
