They didn't get any manuals or schematics with it when they got it. They aren't frequent users of the internet so I told them I'd reach out to the com...

Re: Mike's Rail Cars SuperRoo
I worked with Mike last year, I picked up a critter chassis from a friend from Houston Area live Steamers where they had a class and several where built, but I needed a body.

thanks,
Dave
