Abstract
We construct a class of torsion-free abelian groups such that is an abstract elementary class with such that: is not stable; has the joint embedding property and no maximal models, but does not have the amalgamation property; is -tame. The class we construct is a variation of [PaSh, Section 4] which isolates the core mechanism of the Paolini-Shelah construction.
