Notes:

This brand name was owned by Central Hobby Supply. We have duplicated the entry here, as their boxes were labeled with West Shore Line and not with their company name, so people may not be able to find them.

Ed Kirstatter's model uses the S-Helper Service type-Y trucks, Kadee S #802 couplers, a retainer valve, and sill steps.

The remaining photos show the kit's box and its content.
