I'd like to get one.How much is involved in building one,Are they about the same skill level as building a Bowser kit?Do all the parts go together so you end up with a decent looking model?

It's Athabasca Scale Models. If you check out their website - http://www.athabascashops.com/ you can see the kit apart. It certainly looks a lot more complicated than a Bowser kit, almost like a do it yourself brass engine from etched brass parts.

I haven't built any of their kits yet, but do have one for an all weather cab for a CPR steam engine. Many fine pieces, requires a lot of precision to assemble. I just don't have the time to devote to it at this time. I can imagine the full steam engine kit would be a major effort!
