Our kit instructions are now digital in PDF format and can be accessed through each kit’s respective product page. Kits will be packaged with a basic single page document – which will highlight the prototype history and items packed in the kit. This change will make it much easier for modellers to view the instructions. You can print them out or view them digitally, allowing modellers to zoom in on the images and view colour photos.

I have received a few requests for the CN and CP mini kits, not nearly enough to justify a re run though. Please contact me of you would like one of these kits and I will add your request to the re run list. I need at least 30 kits to consider a re run. No monetary obligation is required.

Our full line of mini kits has been restocked. This will likely be the last of the NSC3 End Mini Kits and Union Duplex Door Kits. I have added a new version of the NSC3 End Kits – MK102.3. This version has CP Multi Mark Decals. See the mini kit page for more details and to order.
Our newest detail part is Tack Boards with 5 Vertical Boards and Route Card holders. All of our detail parts are in stock.
I have been getting a bunch of inquiries about the B&O M55 kits. As of today the patterns are complete and test samples of the etchings are in hand. Pilot models will be built to test the fit of all kit components. I hope to release these at the New England RPM. Kits will include ends, roof, Duryea underframe, etchings and decals. These cars came with two different Duryea underframes and they will be offered as standalone underframe kits also. The B&O Mini Kits use an ARR 40′ long 10’IH 10 panel boxcar with 6′ doors as the base and build into the M55, M55A or M55B version of the car.
Work on our next Mini Kit is underway also. Patterns have been created for the unique ends on the Grand Trunk Western War Emergency Gondolas. These were built by Press Steel Car and have fixed ends. The end patterns have details on both sides and look like a true stamping. The kits will include ends, etchings, resin details and decals. The base for this kit is the Tichy war emergency gondola.
I would like to thank all of our customers and suppliers for their support during our first year.
