The Transfer of the Speedwitch Line of Decals to National Scale Car is now completed. The majority of sets are in stock and can be found by clicking on the ‘Decal’ tab in the menu bar.
There are a few sets that haven’t arrived yet from Speedwitch but should be here in a couple weeks. Other sets that are out of stock are in the process of being reprinted, but do to the pandemic it could be a few months before they arrive.
In the coming weeks a few new sets that were printed by Speedwitch, but never released will be added to the line once Prototype Data Sheets/Instructions are written up.
I will be adding new sets to the line with artwork created by both myself and Ted.
Thank you for your patience during the transition of the decal line to National Scale Car.…
The Grand Trunk Western War Emergency Gondola Mini Kit is our newest release. This kit converts a Tichy Train Group War Emergency Gondola into the GTW version, built by Pressed Steel Car. These cars featured a three rib end of Pressed Steel Car design. The ends were fixed, unlike all other war emergency gondolas which had drop ends.
I would like to thank all of our customers for their continued support throughout 2020.
I am excited to announce that The Speedwitch decal line has been acquired by National Scale Car. We will continue to sell the existing inventory and plan to restock the sets where inventory has been exhausted, some with new and revised artwork that Ted has been working to complete. New decals sets are also in the works created by both Ted and myself. The Decals will go up for sale on the site once the inventory arrives and the website is updated.
To kick off 2021 a rerun of the CN/CP NSC3 end Mini Kits has been completed and added to inventory.
We have three new kits and new parts to be released in 2021. Stay tuned for an announcement of the first kit in the next few weeks.
Here is a photo submitted by a customer that I received last year, which I completely forgot about. Chris Vanko did an excellent job of building and weathering kit #MK103.1. If you have completed one of our kits please consider sending us an image to share.
Happy New Year and remember to stay safe by hunkering down at your work bench and building a kit!…
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.
For those of you whom were lucky enough to receive the Shake and Take Kit from Prototype rails 20/20 – we are offering the unique ATSF BX-34 Bolster, Side and Cross Tie Tabs as used by Pullman Standard to aide in building these cars. I need this for my own personal 2020 shake and take kit and decided to make it available.
National Scale Car will not be offering a BX-34 Mini kit.

Additional quantities of our various other detail parts have been restocked.
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.
M55, M55A, M55B Update.
Pilot Models are complete and just waiting on decals. Castings and all etchings are in stock. Kits will be released as soon as decals arrive. These will come with Standard freight or Time Saver Decals.
The M55C will be released as a full kit as it requires a body with 10′ IH and 7′ door which is not commercially available. It will have either Standard Freight or Sentinel decals.…
I’m proud to announce our newest Mini Kit. Chicago Rock Island & Pacific 1937 AAR Modified 40′ Boxcar Duryea under frames. The kit includes resin castings, etchings and decals.
I managed to put together a few more of the CN & CP NSC3 end Mini Kits. These are now out of production and I will only re run these kits if I get enough interest to justify new moulds.
