kits for On30 gauge (30" track). Passenger Coach, Parlor Car, Combine,
So you are building a short line, narrow gauge railroad. But the Bachmann 35' to 37' cars are too long for your liking or they don't negotiate the sharp curves well. And the 18' cars look too cartoonish or don't fit well with your railroad.
Our 24'-26' kits fit right in between and will negotiate those curves easily. Plus they are wood and will finish up nicely for the era you are modeling.
Box Cars, Stock Car, Reefer,, Gondola, Hopper, Flat Car and Caboose. These have been referred to as "scratch kits" as some ability to work with scratch building materials is helpful. However all main pieces are laser cut and ready to assemble. The modeler should have a basic understanding of car types and part nomenclature. Beginners may encounter a learning curve, which can be good. Please read the instruction page before purchasing a kit to make sure you are able to complete the assembly. And I am always available for help. All laser cutting and detail parts are made right here in the USA . The kits are a basic, general style and usually follow no particular prototype. However, they are based on design principals used during the heyday of narrow gauge. They can be easily modified or added to by the builder. These kits are also useful for On3 and Sn42.

However, we have made arrangements to offer one style of trucks and couplers at additional cost if you so choose. Otherwise, the modeler can purchase other ones that fit the rest of his rolling stock and locos. We do not spend any money on advertising, instead relying on word of mouth and modeler's recommendations on the various forums.
