Instructions: General American Dry-Flo Covered Hopper Car Kit
Thank you for purchasing the Tangent Scale Models General American Dry-Flo
Covered Hopper Car Kit! A few quick notes before starting:
Instructions have many large images: Since some model builders are more visually
oriented, we have included both text and photos within these instructions. As you
can see, many of the images are rather large, to aid in your model building.
There are more images at the end: If you want to see more views of a completed
model as a reference for your building, scroll to the end of this document. This is
another advantage over a printed instruction sheet.
Modeling from computer screen is ideal: If possible we recommend modeling from
your monitor. You can then enlarge the images as you see fit, and you save ink
and paper at the same time.
There are several ways to complete your kit: While there are multiple sequence
steps possible to build this car, we believe the sequence included here yields the
best results.
Prototype photos: While you likely have your own sources of prototype photos,
please recall that for each RTR scheme that Tangent releases, we include a
prototype photo on our website. You can use these as references in addition to
your own sources.
We want feedback: If you find something missing from our text instructions, or an
error within these instructions, please let us know by submitting a comment to us on
our website or sending an email to support@tangentscalemodels.com Thank you!
These instructions are meant for adults: While we applaud bringing younger
modelers into our hobby, this model includes many small parts, some of which are
sharp and/or delicate. Therefore, this kit is recommended for those 14 years of age
and older.
We offer our trucks separately: Our gorgeous new Barber 70-ton S-2-A Roller
Bearing trucks are available separately, with your choice of RP25 or Semi-Scale
tread free-rolling all-metal wheels! Separate brake beam detail included!
