With your modeling skills, take our prototypical kits from this........
 
.....to this!!!

NKP Car Company produces a broad line of passenger cars made to a specific prototype to accurately model a particular railroad or train.  Our HO scale car sides are .020" etched brass, plated or un-plated per prototype, with etched handrail holes and proto-specific details as to fluting, rivet patterns, windows, skirt details and steps. This site shows all current "In-Stock" Some cars include body kits and other detail parts. Most streamlined cars utilize the Train Station Products body kits and appropriate trucks - sold separately.

Our kits are easy to build utilizing simple tools and moderate modeling skills.  

• The body shell assembly begins with attaching car ends to the roof.

• The sides and detailed vents can then be appropriately painted or decaled as necessary per prototype.

• Styrene strips including floor mount blocks are attached to the back of the car sides.

• Sides are then assembled to the roof/end "shell" forming a complete body.

• The Floor is detailed/painted per prototype and attached to the body.

• Finally, mounting of the trucks, couplers, diaphragms and other details completes the car.
