Model Railroading > Any help would be fine.Date: 02/03/23 19:28 Any help would be fine. Author: Woodman Last weekend I went to a train show and found two 1979 Walther's 70' Pullman coaches for $5 each. I love to make models and do a fine job of making them. I have made just about every wood kit LaBelle has made. But, I have never made one of these older Walther's kits. If any TO people have made them, what advice would you have for me due to your experience? I have learned to use good glue and fishing line for truss rods on all LaBelle stuff. Thanks ahead for any help that might make the kit better.

I tried to solder them on with only partial success. Glad to have seen the last of them. Date: 02/04/23 05:05 Re: Any help would be fine. Author: Woodman Yes to the first question,, they are heavy weights. These have plastic sides and top. Well painted and they look nice. I will use Goo where I can.
