    Athearn Boxcar Kits

    I've gotten a few of these kits lately, and I have been looking to assemble them. The problem I am running into is that I can't get the doors onto the bottom rail. The top rail is removable, so it isn't a problem there, but the lower rail has a sort of hook to it, and I'm apprehensive about...

    Old Athearn

    One of my favorite pieces of equipment is this old one, an early Athearn boxcar that, despite its age, still manages to carry on.
