The kit consisted of the body parts, truck sideframes, and the bolsters. The power chassis was left up to the modeler. Cascade Hobby Products provided power specifically for this locomotive, consisting of a Sagami motor, gearbox with Delrin chain and gears, Hobbytown universals, Lindsay truck gearboxes, and brass-investment-cast AAR Type A sideframes (early editions of the Cascade kit required the use of the white-metal cast sideframes that Locomotive Workshop provided with those releases of the kit).
