#11 Older Central Valley F-91/971 Philadelphia & Reading Refrigerator Car kit

Description: I purchased over a hundred of these Central Valley kits over the last 60+ years as not only are the kits great and easy to build, but the all metal trucks and mountings are perfect. I have built some of them as is, but I've also refinished them with new paint and using Clover House dry transfers which has allowed me to have almost and endless supply of different Reefers, Box cars, Ventilated Box cars and Cabooses. They always come out great performing cars and looking great. It seems I kind of over bought them in the last 60 years, prior to and after the original Central Valley closed in either the late 70's or early 80's. The new Central valley is a great company too,and provides modelers with great plastic bridge kits, cars, and more. They will work with you too if you build even longer bridges. (#11) This is an older Central Valley HO F-91/#971 Philadelphia & Reading RR Refrigerator Car with Black lettering, kit. The kit comes in some earlier packaging but is the same car. In addition there is a special 4 page CV brochure. It comes with everything and I just checked it (photo). The kits comes with a pair of the famous Central Valley Arch Bar Trucks and everthing you need to complete the car. Rest assured it is perfect with all enclosed details and papers. If you have built CV cars before you know how nice these models are for their details. If your a beginner don't be afraid of them. I started when I was 14 building Central Valley, Labelle, and Ambroid cars. They were designed to almost be goof proof. They have all become very rare, hard to find, and expensive to buy. I would recommend you assemble these kits with Aleene's Tacky glue, which is a white glue which holds quite well, for longer than I have been using it. The great part is if a part slips while drying, not that anyone ever misalignes anything in assembly, all you need to is apply a swab or brush full of Denatured Alochol to the joint and wait a minute or two, then wiggle the joint and it will come apart with out damaging the wood, and the alochol will not warp the wood like water does. Then you have a second chance to get it right. If you leave the original glue it gets harder, it you scrape the glue off and use new glue and do a misalignment agiain, you get another shot at it too. Sometimes that works well when you need it the most. I do combine shipping for more than one purchase. If you have any questions please ask away. Thanks for looking.
