KIT CLASSICS
Relive the Golden Years of model railroading with Kit Classics™ freight car kits. When you assemble these simple kits, you’ll rediscover fond memories of power packs, sectional track, shake-the-box kits, and dreams of creating your own model railroad empire. Kit Classics freight cars are perfect for sharing this timeless tradition with the next generation of model railroaders. All that’s needed for assembly is a Phillips screwdriver, glue, and a few minutes to build. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad’s Havelock Shops built 200 GM-6A 52’6” 2566 cu. ft. Gondolas carsbetween 1967 and 1968 outside Lincoln, Nebraska. They were designed with a top chord between the grab irons and a flat sill plate between the bolsters. The gondolas were initially used to transport aluminum, steel, and tin coil loads but were later used for general service. The colorful freight cars wore bright “Chinese Red” paint with billboard lettering and were numbered CB&Q 83400-83599. Later, they became BN 577400-577599 and finally BNSF 577400- 577599.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
As with any model kit, before you start the assembly, take few moments to familiarize yourself with the various parts of the kit. Assembly is easy and straight forward. You will need the following tools.
- Sharp hobby knife
- Small Phillips screwdriver
- Hobby glue for bonding plastic parts
- Small tweezers
- STEP 1 Place the two weights inside the under side of the body. Place the underframe into the body. Note that in the center section of the underframe there is an end with four small holes and at the opposite end there are only two. The end with the four holes should be closest to the end of the body where the brake wheel is installed. Use the four scews to install the underframe.
- STEP 2 Test fit the brake cylinder assembly, air reservoir and control valve to be sure that they fit properly. Note the orientation of each part compared to the drawing. Each of these parts can be glued in place using a small amount of the plastic cement.
- STEP 3 Noting the orientation of the coupler centering springs install one spring in each coupler box. Place the coupler in the box making sure that the coupler shank is centered between the two fingers of the centering spring. Attach the coupler box lid with the screw and check for proper coupler centering operation.
- STEP 4 Install the trucks with the supplied screws.
- STEP 5 Test fit the brake wheel in the hole on the body. Once satisfied permanent attach the brake wheel using the plastic cement.
Your gondola is now ready to start generating revenue for your railroad. Enjoy.
