When I built this kit about four months ago, I did find some parts of the construction to be somewhat confusing. For example, nowhere on the instructions does it show you where the parts for the Westinghouse pumps are supposed t go. It was only after exhaustive searching on the internet that I found images of where I guessed the pumps were placed. I also noted that the back wall of the cab isn't prototypical, at least with 4014. All in all, I did enjoy building the kit, although the front set of drivers gave me a lot of bother. I came away with the urge to buy another kit, and then build it taking into account all of the problems I had with the first one to improve on the second. The problem I have with that is that all the kits I see on eBay are overseas, and the cost of postage to Australia is horrendous. I bought my first kit from a seller in Sydney.
From what I remember the instructions were a little confusing too. I do have a second one of these, I never finished it due to me making modifications to it that I never finished.
