Merry Christmas!

As December arrives, we are all looking forward to warm times with friends and family. Our first wish is for all of you to have a healthy, happy and safe holiday season.

We enjoy bringing you these unique, fine scale models - precisely crafted, hand prduced and elegantly finished. Use our search page to dig through our listings for items, both recent and historical, covering decades of railroad design.

We are encouraging you to act sooner rather than later. Shipping last year was difficult as Christmas approached. We will halt shipping on the 18th. We will be happy to hold model(s) for you and would plan to start sending packages out again on the 27th. We can still take your order in that timeframe. We want to protect your models and thank you for your inderstanding.
