Instruction Sheet

Notes:

Northeastern Scale Models sold this kit initially, but later kit sales were taken over by Ambroid Co. This kit builds into an AAR double-deck stock car with "hat" section side braces and solid ends. The kit comes with a two-page instruction sheet, with one page containing the directions, and the other showing scale drawings that show how the parts are to be formed and installed.

Ed Kirstatter painted his model with ScaleCoat #2013 box car red. He used decals from Champion, Enhorning, and Midgage. He completed the model using Kadee S-scale #808 couplers, and Northeastern Scale Models sprung Bettendorf trucks.

This is the same model as the painted version, but shown before painting. This allows you to see which parts were wood and which were metal.

The slatted/braced ends.

Shown are the metal AB brake system parts that come with the kit, as well as the metal wire needed to form the piping, rods, and also the grab irons. The kit also includes a sheet of brass from which the modeler can form the levers and slack adjuster.
