Kenny,
 
I have built many Bowser and the first one is the hardest... Trying to understand the directions are sometimes a bit difficult but there are many of us out here that have done them before and can answer any questions that you might have. I am in the middle of re-motoring & re-gearing 2 Bowser 2-8-0's for someone with NWSL motors and gearboxes. It can be trying to do the first one if these also but like anything patience and practice always helps! If you detail the Bowser's out you can have a nice looking and good running engine. If you have any questions feel free to ask!
