It's the March issue of Hemming's Classic Cars. There's also a small article on TV show cars, as well as an article in early race car aerodynamics, I believe 1917 or there about. It's a really good issue, check it out if you can.
I was 8 or 9, this was in the mid '60's. My dad was big into wooden ship models. I remember watching him soaking wood to shape in to hull pieces. God was that a lot of work. I guess I showed enough interest that he came home one day with an AMT kit & three bottles of paint. I (we) had so much fun building that kit. It looked like BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH, but I was so proud of what I did. I got another one for Christmas that year & I was hooked for life. I Don't remember the kit, but I'll never forget the time we spent building it..
three years ago, my wife &I took a ride on this train. They're meticulously maintained & the "conductor" gave a nice historic presentation. A cool alternate from Having my car "Climb Mount Washington" and frying my brakes. If anyone's ever up that way & you have time, check it out. Thanks for bring back the experience.
I seem to remember someone mention here that one version had more parts than the other, but I can't locate the thread. If so, can anyone confirm which? Thanks.
