One question I get a fair amount is what's an easy or the easiest Speedwitch kit? To be honest, many of them are not what I would call starter kits (unless you have a fair degree of modeling experience, railroad or otherwise.) There is one, though, that is generally in the easy category that comes to mind. Not too many construction steps, no fiddly details, and it represents a common prototype, as the NP flat car of the late Steam/Transition/early Diesel (to the 70s) eras, so given the NP's lumber shipments, it was seen all over the US. Pacific Car & Foundry built some for the Spokane, Portland & Seattle in 1951 and those are available too.
