This is a difficult kit to assemble properly. Parts do not assemble easily, requiring extensive cutting and filing to properly assemble white metal bunker. Coal bin instructions are poorly illustrated and again require extensive filing and cutting to attempt assembly. Kit instructions indicate a base for the scale house should be included but in this kit none was. I will substitute a basswood base. I've tried the bin assembly but I'm frustrated so far. I'm going to put kit aside and move to another.This is unusually poor quality for a Woodlands Scenics kit. You can do much better for the $47 price point.

I highly disagree with the poor review given by another. This was a fun kit that produced a very nice ,rustic scene. The parts fit well, weathering instructions gave realistic results and will fit on most train layouts or as a separate diorama, weathering instructions. Unlike most kits, this has enough accessories to make a full scene. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was the price. When I bought mine it was $19.99, which was more reasonable.
