I just spent the last few days putting together a Branchline Blueprint kit of a pre-war 40' reefer. It is a wonderful kit and builds into a great model. I really enjoyed building it. The problem is the same problem with many of the newer kits with very fine detail. The detail is so fragile that it is difficult to keep from knocking off parts that you just glued on while putting on other parts. I almost disassembled it putting the finished frame onto the body. I took it to the layout for a trial run and a couple of the stirrups were knocked off in the process! I finally got it on the layout and in a train. I have to contact Branchline about one detail part that went flying from the sprue never to be seen again. I am going to have to tell everyone who operates that that one is "handsoff". I have a bunch of Westerfield models to build and they look pretty fragile too. Any thoughts about this problem? - Nevin
