Where to begin? Let's start with communication. Emails went nearly unanswered, I believe I got a single reply back to questions. Facebook Messenger wasn't much better but I got 2-3 responses there after days of waiting for a reply. Shipment was delayed at the port (fair enough) but none of that was relayed until much later and well after being paid in full. So that led to many questions but very little answers. The cars themselves look good but are severely underweight by 2+ oz. Creative modifications are needed to add weight. Overall, not super impressed for the cost of each car. Will likely be my only order with Roka, unless they announce some other never done car that's needed in this hobby. Best of luck, hopefully they won't be another Arrowhead.
Spiral tank car design / detail were good, the lack of sufficient weight makes handling in train consists problematic. There's no way to correct this without causing irreparable damage. There should have been some sort of discount like done with misprint to Family Lines auto carrier.
Weld seams too wide. was told this would be corrected prior when I saw reproductions at a show. Misspelled words. Grossly underweight. Zero quality control on subcontractor. Not what is expected at this price point.
