I favor the super good plastic diesels rather than brass models for those projects. When I read the article NS Locomotives it brought to mind the "kissing cousin" of the diesel locomotive, the WWIT diesel submarine.

raftsman kits have been around for many C years but only recently have we seen a manufacturer offer kits made of styrene instead of stripwood and cardstock. There are a lot of good reasons for using styrene, including the fact that it doesn'l have a tendency to warp like wood or cardstock. it isn't affected by changes in humidity, and it can be easier to work with. Jim King's Smoky Mountain Model Works of Ashevi1lc. NC, has begun developing a line of styrene models based on pro~ totypes. The model of Prince Coal is based on a proto­ type industry located in Landrum, SC, along the famous Saluda grade.
