Construction of Diamond Coal Mine is straight forward, easy and well engineered in my opinion. The cylindrical slack tank is so prototypical, wish it were available separately to add to my other mines. The handrails and ladders are a bit to thick for my taste so I was able to add photo etched brass hand rails very easily. I would buy this mine again and combine it with other kits to create other mines.

This was a good building with all parts and good directions. Remember, this is a plastic model in N scale (a small size) and as far as durability it does require proper handling - but railroad modelers would know this.

This is a well made plastic kit - lots of detail, many parts. Assembly is straight forward and fairly simple. Needs to be painted (my preference). I would buy other Walthers kits - very nice.

Some pieces are very small and instructions are a bit lacking. Not recommended for a beginner molder.
