This easy-to-build model is part of the company’s Kit Classics line
I bought my BN gon at a hobby shop and sure did enjoy building it to run on my railroad, all it needs now is a little weathering and she’ll be good to go
This puppy is a beautiful kit and easy to assemble.
I will add that one must be careful with the mounting of the screws for the trucks. I stripped the head of one of those self tapping screws and could no longer use it. An easy fix was to drill and tap the screw hole for a 2-56 screw. The substitution worked well and my gondola is complete.
Great design from Scale Trains.
