How difficult are etched brass kits to build?
The kits in mind are for small wagons freight rolling stock kits (Goods vans, 5 or 7 plank open wagons, etc.) Wagons typical of 1:19 or 1:32 UK, Europe, Austrialan, etc. railways. From the look at the kit parts on web sites the body is etched brass and the under carriage parts are white metal, some in brass (and wheels).
Directions say they can be built with glue or low temp solder. What works better?
