Product Review:
Model Railroader, Feb 1995
Notes:
In Model Railroader's magazine, Jeff Wilson's product review stated that the kit went together well, the wheels are in gauge and roll well, that the model matches the prototype's dimensions, and it weighs the correct NMRA-specified weight. This was the original kit version sold by the original S Scale America company.
