  • This kit is a featured review article by Thomas Knapp in N Scale Magazine, Nov./Dec. 2017, page 15. Please click on the instructions tab to see the review. This is a 24' Narrow Gauge Tank Car based on one used by the West Side Lumber Co. This kit comes with a metal undercarriage, wood deck, etched Stainless Steel stanchions, and brass wire. Flexible poly line is included for the underside rigging. This easy-to-build kit requires Z Scale trucks to be purchased separately. (The photo shows MTL #955 trucks with short couplers).

    • Nn3 Tank car
      Since I model in N scale, not Nn3, I adapted this to N scale by using a Microtrains Civil War boxcar frame, truss rods and trucks, and MT 1015 couplers. It turned out very nicely, with apologies to the Nn3 gang and Tom Knapp.

    • Nn3 Tank Car kit
      I like this kit for a number of reasons, including ease of assembly, amount of detail and ending up with a pretty unique model that is not so common that everyone knows what it is. It also leave lots of room to add your own details to make it your own, adding to the uniqueness. It ends up looking like a scratch built model, rather than a ready to run car right out of the box.

    • Another Great Kit
      This was a fun, easy to build kit with room for added detail and along with some weathering it yields an eye catching piece of rolling stock. All the parts fit together well and the handrails give it a finely detailed look. I did have trouble keeping the thread tight while forming the truss rods and I would try fine brass wire if were to do it over. That reflects on me and not the kit. 
      I highly recommend this kit for a relaxing weekend project and a great addition to any Nn3 layout.
