Designed for use with narrow-gauge cars. The kit includes blocking and bracing.

Even though this kit is designed for narrow-gauge cars, Ed Kirstatter shows that it is equally at home in a standard-gauge car, such as this Rex Engineering gondola. Ed used sandpaper to remove the laser-burned edges to make them look like fresh-cut wood. Some wood glue was required on delicate parts that broke when handled.
