I need help acquiring directions for construction of the blast furnace
(HO) from Walther's. I have a complete kit, but no instructions. Can
anyone mail me copies or send jpeg images?

Thanks very much.

You can obtain copies of instruction sheets from the NMRA Kalmbach library in
Chatanooga, TN.

They have a library of instruction sheets and they charge a modest fee for
duplication.

A GIF would be a better option since you're dealing with limited numbers of
colors.

Why not try Walthers customer service? Put them to the test.

Twice this year, I have purchased Walthers kits that had missing
parts--a Frisco caboose twin pack that was missing the grab
irons and an oil pump kit missing the gears and screws. Both
times, an e-mail to Walthers got the parts in my mailbox in
Austin, TX in a week. I'm betting that they will take care of
you.

Having said that, I must admit that I have not been very pleased
with Walthers rolling stock kits. I have put several together
and found that they require much more trimming, filing, and
fitting of parts than even the Athern blue box kits, or the kits
from Bowser, Accurail, Tichy, or MDC.

That's probably because Walthers doesn't make them. They're contracted
out...probably to China.
