Christmas Special - We are finalizing some paperwork and will be shipping these state of the art models at the beginning of December.  As a holiday bonus, we will be taking 15% off of the retail price if ordered before the 25th.  Single A units are almost sold out, but A-B sets are looking to be quite popular.

After a long period of work with Division Point, we are pleased to announce the delivery of all new UP Alco C855 Diesels. This ushers in a new era in brass models - High detail and refined production combined with modern electronics - Decoder Buddy platform for plug and play DCC install and full LED lighting.   Available as single units, A-B set, anmd a limited run of A-B-A sets in a unitized package.

Due to their limited to non-existent availability, we have worked with Coach Yard to produce a new run of Santa Fe Mail Container Flat cars (ex HW diners, etc converted...).  This was a small run (plus additional containers), so get them while they are available!

What's New

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.
