Do you Remember these Kits?

National Car Cast a company from Waterloo in the 1970's offering resin gondola sides and ends to make a CN model. They suggest some parts to use and also cardboard for finishing the kit. There are no decal included or suggested.

Peter recently gave me a few model kits conversion from the early 1970's. It is interesting to see what one got back then when ordering a kit. It appears that National Car Cast maybe had three kits out at the time Peter purchased his kits in the mid 1970's...he never got around to building them...will see what I can do with them...George Dutka

This kit is for a PC gondola which you need to pickup  decals and parts supplies. Kits from this era were simplistic...for instance this kit's instructions  tells one to use Bristol board for the flooring. Reading through the instructions are very crude compared to todays standards. I would think using an Athearn blue box gondola would move the process along much more quickly. No decal are mentioned in this kit also.

Look at the price of postage in the early 1970's...8 cents. 

This would be a year or two later...note the increase for his second kit...an additional 6 cents although it is noted to be first class. Looking at the address Peter had moved to London by then from Brampton.
