As a bonus, the Kaslo and Prairie Shadows cars are different prototypes.Prairie Shadows is a Hawker-Siddeley and the Kaslo is a BCOL-only Railwest Manufacturing (basically BCOL Squamish Shops) car. Subtle differences in the bolster jacking pads and pulling loops, but the main difference is how the deck boards rest on top of the side sills on the RWM car vs. flush between the side sills on basically every other manufacturers' version(s).
I have to hand it to Briggs, they more than took care of the issues I had with this model. I want to stress that none of the issues I encountered was a deal breaker, just a bit of an annoyance. They offered to send a new kit with corrected shell dimensions. This model certainly isn't bad, and I'm not going to shelve it. But I'm not going to say no to a new kit either... Think I'll paint the next one in the CN North America scheme. Nothing screams "late 90's" than that.
