Yarmouth Model Works
introduced two
new resin-cast car kits
at the Naperville RPM
meet late last month.
They include a cast
resin kit for an HO
scale Northern Pacific 39000 series boxcar. Like the prototype
illustrated here, the model features a unique brake rigging
arrangement that includes three brake levers, of which two are
mounted on etched metal A‑frames. Instructions are included
for modifying a Kadee Andrews truck to more closely follow
the unusual prototype truck. The kit is priced at $55.00.
