I have always had an interest in the MoW aspect of railroading, both model and the prototype since I worked for BNSF doing just that. Unfortunately there are no assembled MoW model equipment available (as far as I know), so I am forced to try something new. This Showcase Miniatures ballast regulator is going to be the first metal kit I have attempted. Wish me luck….or better yet, send me some tips of what to do and not do!

Hi, I did one of their MoW trucks last year and it came out fine. Showcase does well thought out kits and you should not have any problems. I also have a blog and did a post on my build.

Very nice! I think that will be my next kit, however I would like to find one with a slightly older cab.
