Al has trusted me with building up one of these stock cars as a test.
I've had it for several weeks and so far, it's been really fun to work
on. I'm attaching a couple of shots I made last week. I've progressed
beyond that point despite several other things that have stolen much of
my time.
I've built many structure kits from our kit builders over the last few
years, but this is something quite different in some respects. This is
my first laser cut car kit and the first wooden car kit I've built in
some time (PRS plastic kits and SSA RTR cars will do that). It seems
like many of use are constantly trading the older craftsman kits back
and forth. This one should challenge you enough to actually build as
the end results should be pretty darn nice.
East West has put together this kit with parts from several different
sources to put this on another level. The skill level to build this car
is maybe just a tad more than say a PRS reefer and that's pretty much
due to the uniqueness of the prototype car. I have one of the older
Wisconsin Central versions of this car and this version is going to be
superior to it.

Hello,
I wanted to let everyone know that the Soo Line stock car kit from
East West Rail Service (www.eastwestrailservice.com) is available for
purchase. Until recently, we were waiting for the last production
piece. We are currently working on our next project which is a stock
car built by American Car & Foundry for the C&O from 1922 to 1923.
If you have any questions, please contact me at
[email protected] <mailto:al%40eastwestrailservice.com> or
through this group.
Thanks for your time,
Al Castellani
