Railroad Avenue kit Wicketts Mill Instructions
Posted by Kevin R on Saturday, June 22, 2024 2:44 PM

I bought a Railroad Avenue AK-12 Wickett Mill and I found it was missing instructions. Can anyone help with instructions, pictures or advice.

Get in contact with the MFG'er of the kit and request a PDF of the instructions, that is IF You know who made the kit. Any chance it is Southwest Narrow gauge?

If I remember right, that company is long gone.

Why would they still have a web site?

Huh? You posted a link to an on-line store, not the kit manufacturer.

The manufactuer was Railroad Avenue Model Works.

Yes, but if they still have a kit in stock maybe they could open up the box and copy the instructions.

There are plenty of Zombie sites out there.  I saw something that said the owner had retired and his son was supposed to be maintaining the web site.  The original owner was surprised to discover the site was not being maintained. 

It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
