Our first production run of these beauties included 12 different road numbers, each modeled, detailed and decorated from actual prototype photos... There were "around" 80 cars of each version constructed... This run was a real hit, selling out within three months time... We expect this run to be no less popular, and once you see the photos below you'll know why it's easy to say this...
Production run Number Two consists of:

TEN different road numbers, EIGHT variations produced, wearing FOUR different shades of ''Black'' paint ! (Because not all "Blacks" were created equal, y'see...)

Seven of these versions are suitable for 1930's era; Yet most are suitable for 1940's-up era modeling too! See photos and read captions under them...

Unbelieveable detail from Brand New Tooling created from in house SOLID MODEL drawings! See photos!

Flawless decorating from all new in-house created artwork! Each car modeled from an existing prototype or prototype photo! See photos!

The level of detail to be seen on these models is simply staggering. Click any of the photos on this page for an enlarged view or two, or maybe three or four!

Each of these models is a faithful reproduction of its prototype, in miniature. They are equipped with GENUINE KADEE® Couplers, and COINED, NICKEL PLATED BRASS Wheelsets.

Of course, we would like to see these models populating all of our customers layouts. But keep in mind that these are SCALE MODELS, not children's toys. As delivered, they are designed to be operated on 28" and larger radius curves. For operation on tighter radius curves, some slight modifying of the (underbody) trainline might be in order...

We produced "around" 80 of each of these models. If your railroad is hurting for FUNCTIONAL rolling stock, you might consider some of these. They're priced commensurate with the quality of their operation and detail level, and at that, if you value your modeling time as being worth ANYTHING AT ALL, these things are simply a bargain!
