How could one go about building a Campbell kit in N scale, I would like too do the Saez Sash & door company.
Their website says “Complete instructions, drawings, and templates are included.” Did you not get instructions?
The website doesn’t say anything about N-scale, maybe that’s his question. The kit was named after Al Saez, photographer of the Southern Pacific and docent at the Durango & Silverton RR Museum.
No, but I do remember MR had drawings of them don’t remember which issue?
Post deleted - it was not relevent once cuyama pointed out that this was a scratch build.

I believe that the Original Poster wishes to scratchbuild an N scale model similar to one of the Campbell Saez Sash and Door kits … which are only offered in HO. So, no, he wouldn’t have instructions.
A quick google search reveals that the Campbell kits came from plans in an article in the September 1976 Model Railroader (pg 46) called “Charlie Wyman’s Mill”
I have built many Campbell kits over the years. They come with what I think are the best instructions out there. Even without a lot of experience, a very nice model can be put together.Read the instructions all the way through a couple times. It really helps. If you follow the instructions, I am sure you can do it. Just don’t get in a hurry. My first one was the Skull Valley Station, when I was 13. I do model in HO. I have a nice five inch work light with a magnifier to do my work. In N scale you may want something like that. I got mine at Office Max, here in Wa.

Sorry bout that. Don’t know how I posted that twice! I am better at trains than computers!
Guess what I’ve got in my hands. It’s the September '76 issue of MR with the plans for Charlie Wyman’s mill. Check your private messages.
