Dave I do have some Camden & Amboy packaging & items still in the Train Room somewhere. I do not want to hijack this thread from the original posting
regarding the PRR 2-10-0;s, so I will start a new post regarding those items. If I can find the items, take pics, and figure out how to attach them, You will see
what we mean by quality of the products from back in the day compared to now.

Not a big deal, I don't want to make work for you! Those are long off the market anyway. Was just curious. I would assume the tender kit was a short tender to fit on the Minitrix chassis?

Actually Dave it was the long tender that was a splice of two of the short tenders. If you look at Lee's Model, that is the one. Also the Boiler shell which luckily was a tad beefier,
had the feedwater heater molded onto the Fireman's side. It still needed some work and a little bashing to make it right. The owner of the business, whose name escapes me now,
did his best back then to give us PRR material to work with. It's just that some castings had many almost un-repairable flaws as mentioned earlier.
