INSTRUCTION BOOKLET

The Scenery Kit S927

We feel confident you will be happy with the display piece that you are about to build. 
This kit includes the base and materials needed to construct a 10" x 18" diorama on 
which you can display an engine, piece of rolling stock, or military model. We will 
teach you how to use our terrain and landscaping systems.

Before  you  begin,  identify  the  contents  of  the  box  as  listed  on  the  next  page.  Be 
sure to save the cardboard box the items are packed in, because this will be used in 
the construction. Make sure you have the additional items required for construction 
available. Then, begin building!
