Duncan,
I've built an Eastern Car Work combine previously, as well as some covered
hoppers. It was a bit of a frustrating experience, especially with the
combine kit. If your kit is anything like mine was, be prepared for larger
parts that are warped. I used several smaller
bulldog clips and other type clamps to hold the parts together while the glue
dried; it was the only way to overcome the warping. After that, I had to
fill several spots with body putty and do considerable sanding, not always easy
with the clerestory roof my combine had.
Coupled with the difficulty with the parts are instructions which are--to
say the least--not always clear.
In short, I've found the Eastern Car Works a challenge to put
together. I guess the results are worth the cost, time, and effort,
but it takes a while to get the final result.

Subject: [BRHSlist] CRIP 6-6-4 sleepers on
the Zephyr Rocket
Hi folks. I was at a model train show up here in Toronto today
and stumbled across an Eastern Car Works kit for a 6-6-4 sleeper which seems to
be a match for the Golden State cars that were eventually used on the Zephyr
Rocket. I also managed to find a set of Microscale decals for the
car. What I'm looking for are drawings or suggestions that will help
me detail the car, as well as any tips from people who've built an Eastern Car
Works kit before. I have one picture of the car from a sharp angle in
Mike Spoor's CB Q in Colour, volume 3. Any other photos would be
helpful too. Thanks.
