Kit instructions have been posted for some of the latest HO scale Resin Car Works kits released at the 2024 RPM Naperville/Chicagoland event.

Five Midwestern offset hopper kits were released. On of Chris Vanko’s completed models leads this blog post. Here’s the webpage for the Extras to help with the kit builds. PDF instructions and additional images are posted to that page.

Jerry Hamsmith and Ed Rethwisch co-presented on Illinois Central automobile box cars and a mini-kit to convert an Intermountain box car model. The webpage of Extras has the PDF instructions ready to download.

Instructions for the AC&F tank cars and the Lehigh & New England composite gondola are in-process. A few files have been posted for each, and the tank car frames follow the Resin Car Works acid tank car assembly. Here’s the extras page for the AC&F tank cars and the Lehigh & New England composite gondola. We will post here when those instructions are ready.

We had hoped to have these kits available for sale at this time, but the RCW packing and shipping minions are headed out until March 2025. We will post a blog announcement when kit sales are ready to go. Thank you for your patience.

Extras and instructions for all previous Resin Car Works kits can be accessed through the links on our archive of Kits Not Currently Available.

May you all enjoy Thanksgiving with friends and family.
