MY dear fellow hobbyists and builders of all, as I have attempted in my life.....I now have two of the S Gauge 44 tonner kits by Jan...I,m sorry that the bug to have one did not bite until the year 2001, at a convention for S gaugers in Scranton ,Pa (Bidens ) town...no??? In the most recent purchase, last week from EBAY, was the motor mechanism with a very strong magnet intact...and sure, it had to have come from a HO diesel, what with the 28 " wheels..ergg....Many things were thought out by Jan...Some details for body trim were not...But, I did finish the kit from Steam Depot bought at Scranton, and gluing body parts was not necessary...so much easier...(the body casting was done by Hodgson I believe) ...I went a step further , and cut out one door and made a opening door as in many photos you see of 44 tonners..And there it sits , waiting for a corporate paint selection--how about FORD motor co...hmnn...But then , other than the other kit from Smoky Mt model works ( which could be sold out by now, or a brass one from RIver Raisin models, these two LW kits will start a building soon...if the shop superintendent will allow.....It was gratifying to see all the remarks (and I loved the humor)....I could tell you about the minimal room for truck swivel , even as small as it is...Hmnnnnnnn Arnold Kloian (who would master all that he sees)
