Their website says "Complete instructions, drawings, and templates are included."  Did you not get instructions?

The website doesn't say anything about N-scale, maybe that's his question. The kit was named after Al Saez, photographer of the Southern Pacific and docent at the Durango & Silverton RR Museum.

I believe that the Original Poster wishes to scratchbuild an N scale model similar to one of the Campbell Saez Sash and Door kits ... which are only offered in HO. So, no, he wouldn't have instructions.

A quick google search reveals that the Campbell kits came from plans in an article in the September 1976 Model Railroader (pg 46) called "Charlie Wyman's Mill"

I have built many Campbell kits over the years. They come with what I think are the best instructions out there. Even without a lot of experience, a very nice model can be put together.Read the instructions all the way through a couple times. It really helps. If you follow the instructions, I am sure you can do it. Just don't get in a hurry. My first one was the Skull Valley Station, when I was 13. I do model in HO. I have a nice five inch work light with a magnifier to do my work. In N scale you may want something like that. I got mine at Office Max, here in Wa.

Guess what I've got in my hands.  It's the September '76 issue of MR with the plans for Charlie Wyman's mill.  Check your private messages.
