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....
