About

Honestly, we are modelers first and sellers secondly. We always try and give the type of service that we expect when buying online, fast and fair. We've been into HO scale modeling since 1974, and over the years have managed two hobby shops and been a member of several model train clubs. Even working for a major model train decal manufacturer in the early 80's. We do not mind answering modeling questions either, if we do not know something, we will try and find you an answer that works. This includes prototype information about the south-west US railroading prior to 1989 for the most part, but we are also good at limited research. It never hurts to ask; the worst we can say is, we have no idea.

Thanks for dropping by,

    Both of the 2 items I ordered, piggyback car parts and windshields for 2 Authearn COE trucks, were as pictured. They all were shipped together and arrived in excellent condition. This seller is easy to work with, and I have purchased multiple items from him in the the past. Both the price of the items and the shipping were reasonable. I am a staisfied and happy customer.

Miller Engineering HO/N JESUS SAVES SIGN MLR9072-NEW
Dec 18, 2017
Two Faced JESUS SAVES Sign
I love this sign, it's 2 sided so you can see this one from either direction, very cool. My only caveat is when gently spreading the sign contacts apart, don't be too rough or you can kill the sign, or at least a part of it. The tab that sticks out from the cross on one side is what you spread to expose the contacts, then insert them, keeping the dots lined up, with the two ribbon wire female connectors. There a lot of chase patterns in these signs, I really like the ones which have the last letter "S" in SAVES flickering like it's about to burn out, talk about a run down neighborhood look; it's way cool. Just be careful not to stress the contacts tab or you'll be very unhappy. I won't say these are fragile, but they will not survive rough handling at all.

Walthers HO 53' GSC Piggyback Service Flat Car - Milwaukee Road 57356
Oct 17, 2018
Decent "old school" piggyback car.
A little bit thick on some of the details, but definitely sturdy enough to survive in most club type environments. Decent looking model. Thought I'd give one a try to run with my homemade cars, and this car fits right in and was very easy to put into service. I would not pay retail for one, but if found on sale, I'd recommend trying at least one. It really is a 3 1/2 star rating; somewhere between it's OK and better than I thought.
Atlas 20 001 396 HO N de M 40' Postwar Box Car w/6' Door #66471
Jul 27, 2019
Another Great Boxcar Model
Every once in a while a model manufacturer produces something just right for the era one chooses to replicate. My era is the period around and/or just after this nations bicentennial, so cars minus the running boards were becoming the norm and this little gem of a car is just right for that look. Considering the cost verses the details, this car is a bargain as well. Separate grab irons and ladders, not to mention cut lever details are included on this model making it a the perfect addition to the roster. Thank you Atlas!
