reviews Model Kit Reviews....
    When I started modeling the Chessie System, there was no info out there as to what kits were accurate and which were not.  In the table below you will find reviews I have done for specific kits.  I don't work in the modeling industry.  I gain no benefit from a positive review.  I just want to let all the budding Chessie or model railroaders out there what is good and what isn't.

Most of these kit reviews come about when I do research for a project.  Some of these may take a while, as the projects are deep down on my priority list.

Enjoy....
