Let's take a closer look at what's inside one of these kit classic kits We'll just take it out here. We can have a closer look. Of course. It comes with a set of instructions This is an Evans 5100 RBL double 8-foot plug door box car with some simple instructions on how to put it together So if you take a look at what we've got here we've got the Underframe we've got the underframe with a weight already attached And it's got some nice extended coupler pockets on it If we pull out the shell We take a look and we've got some nice trucks with metal wheel sets And we've got semi-scale couplers. It's like they're Katie compatible scale couplers with some bronze springs centering springs and That looks like the screw lid goes that it looks like the coupler lid Looks like the coupler lid screws on we look at the detail here a little closer the Ladders look great the brake wheels nice and delicate the stirrup steps not too big and Nice rib detail rivet detail on the car very crisp lettering so the instructions say to put the trucks on and The couplers on and then snap the underframe In to the shell so you can see these details better. Let's put a piece of paper down So here's the trucks Study the detail up close Very nice Certainly beats the old blue box days So here's the couplers Here's the couplers as you can see a spring in the jaw semi-scale couplers They come with a I'm of a spring coupler and spring and then they have a A box lid put the paper up So on to assembling the car Okay, now that the under frame is completely done Let's put it in the shell now the shell has some little tab indents inside and There are little tabs on the under frame Here and here at the trucks So what you have to do is you have to put this in the body and snap those tabs Into those little in vents So here we go. It's like that So let's take the assembled car and see how it stacks up in terms of default coupler height so I have a Special coupler height gauge track that I built here. It's got a Rerailer in the middle and a couple of gauges on each end so I can take the car You get on the track very easily and then I can check the coupler height On either side and it looks like it's right on the money. So there you have it The kit classics from scale trains calm a great bring back of The classic kit at an affordable price point of under $15
