[quote user="BRAKIE"] Safety Valve,The floor can be straighten by gluing the weight to the floor..Also more important is to insure the WEIGHT and FRAME is straight.That is how you get the correct coupler height.I will be buying these new "BB kits from China" and well have no problems building them.No offense to you but,I seen more then my fair share of modelers trip,stumble and fall assembling these simple kits.I shake my head in wonder and amazement over this and have for several years.Its simply amazing how much some modelers don't know about assembling these kits.[/quote]I am curious to ask your method for building these kits; how would you build one?Reason I am asking is this, I have assembled the kits as they are exactly out of the box with no modification, gauges, reamers or anything extra they they came out not much better or worse than trainset cars if such a thing is possible.Maybe my methods have crossed over the other extreme and should be published in a book, titled "How to NOT build a blue box kit."Have a happy 4th July!
