BigDaddy I have had the crane kit for more than 20 years I thought mine had trucks, I'll have to take a look.

20 years
Back in the day it was customary that they would give you the full meal deal.
I'm very curious about that one Henry, make sure that you let us know if you would.
I have had the crane kit for more than 20 years and it is still in the box. That's on my list to build this winter. The rigging of the crane boom looks a little fiddley. I thought mine had trucks, I'll have to take a look.

Man! That was a barrage of answers right away, ... appreciated guys.
I have a Tichy Train Group double water tower kit I purchased some time ago. My daughter likes to do models and crafts with me so we will assemble these two twin water towers together someday.
I just wasn't sure about Rolling Stock kits as I know a lot of you build them. I see the ones you guys build on weekend photo fun that I always admire. With that said I thought you would all know more about these kits than me. That was the reason for my inquiry, I didn't want to end up with a bogus kit.
From your replies I feel pretty confident I should go purchase this one as it looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for all the help here.
Ulrich once warned me about voice texting with his funny video of the Scottish guy and his heavy accent in the elevator. I voice text because my construction fingers are so big it's hard to hit the little keys on my phone. Sometimes I don't catch the corrections
Thanks again for all the good advice
I've bought windows and doors from Tichy, and will gladly buy more. I've also bought HO Scale boxcars and flatcars from them. Each was fun to assemble, paint and decal. I particularly like having better under-car brake detail, even if I am the only one who knows it's there.
In my to-do box is another Tichy flat car and a pickle car superstructure, bought before I stumbled across an Athearn one at a show. Then I'll need a trackside pickle bin. And I don't even like pickles. There is a pickle bin kit, but it's expensive and I think I could scratchbuild an acceptable one.

You’ve got to be kidding us TF, asking if we’ve heard of Tichy. Mel My Model Railroad http://melvineperry.blogspot.com/ Bakersfield, California I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.
Track fiddlercame across this wrecking kit that interested me.
Hi TF,
I'm not familiar with their N scale products, but Tichy's HO kits are very well made and highly detailed. The accuracy of the castings is amazing. There is literally no flash. The details can be very delicate.
I would go for it, but be prepared to spend some time assembling it. This is not a one evening kit!
Cheers!!

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Track fiddlerJust wondering if anyone's familiar with this company and if you think I would be happy with it.
I have built dozens of HO scale Tichy train cars. They are very good kits that build into nice models.
The "crew car" looks a lot like an N scale kit I built decades ago by DimiTrains. I wonder if Tichy bought the masters for this kit. DimiTrains also made a very nice N scale rotary snow plow kit.
You've never heard of Tichy? They've been around for a while and make a very good product. Most notably Tichy manufactures a plethora of detail parts for scratch-building - e.g. windows. You'll have to paint and decal the kits once you assemble them because they come undecorated.

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
TF:
I am very familiar with the company and know the owner very well. I have the same kit that you have in N scale. The kits are plastic and quality is very good. They assemble very easily with very good instructions. I suggest that you paint the kit parts prior to assembly which is easier than trying to paint an assembled kit, espessialy the crane. If I can be of any furthur assistance please let me know.

Good afternoon
Got all my Christmas shopping done on eBay this afternoon and came across this wrecking kit that interested me.
Just wondering if anyone's familiar with this company and if you think I would be happy with it. It looks like a fun 3-piece model to build. It does not come with trucks or decals but that doesn't concern me. It is a styrene kit. Do you think it will be properly weighted and be a decent addition to my fleet as far as quality goes?
Thanks for your help and opinions in advance.
