"I recently purchased Model Tech Studio's Bowen Mills and Shultz Gear Co. and am extremely pleased with both kits. While they are not for the first time model builder, anyone who has built a few structure kits will have no trouble assembling them. I was very impressed with the quality and fit of the parts. The laser cutting was excellent and, except for some small difficulty removing some of the letters, the parts were a snap to remove. There were a large quantity of detail parts included which greatly enhanced the final appearance of the model. I found assembly quite convenient and the instructions very good. I did substitute plastic tubing for the supplied wooden dowels when making the smoke stacks; this was a matter of personal preference. Conventional weathering techniques applied to the finished kits have resulted in two outstanding models of near museum quality. I would highly recommend these two kits to any N scaler looking for a real "eye catcher" on their layout."
