Look what came in the mail today...FINALLY!
 |
| Two CTA "L" cars |
 |
| Item 8036 - 2200's |
Where are the instructions?
Here's what their website states:
All of our models are craftsman style kits that require assembly and painting by the modeler.
We do not include instructions with the kits as assembly is straight forward.
The kits do not include; wheels, couplers, or hardware, such as screws.
All of our kits are cast to order, please allow up to 12 weeks for shipment.
Let's see...I ordered these Mar 2, 2025
It arrived May 20, 2025
That took 11.5 weeks to arrive.
They actually arrived EARLY! :)
This could be a very challenging project.
Hopefully I have enough left over locomotive parts to make this happen.
