The "Modern Skinner" was the first kit I ever built. I think it's about as good quality as you'll find in a kit. I liked it so well I later built another one. The first time I used the bolsters, and I didn't really know out how to peen pins properly yet, so the bolster pins show a little...

Thanks for the warm welcomes, guys! Rick
