National Model Railroad Month is here!

It's the official start of the Holiday season and we have a lot going on this month!

November is National Model Railroad Month. As they have done in previous years both the Columbia George Model Railroad Club and the Mt.Hood Model Engineers will be hosting the public during the weekends for their annual Holiday Open House(s) starting November 3rd. For all the details and times visit the links for each club --->> Columbia George MRRC - Mt.Hood Model Engineers  

NEW in stock! We have the Rapido, Northern Pacific 10,000 Series Box cars. These cars traveled all over the country for decades, if they fit the era you model then they would make a perfect addition to your railroad. This was a limited edition run that is already sold out at the manufacturer!


With Fall comes the start of the Grain Rush! We have a wide assortment of Grain Hoppers to fit your needs including the latest run of Athearn RTR FMC4700 Covered Hoppers.


We also have a good selection of Broadway Limited Products in Stock. Featured in this Newsletter are the City of San Francisco UP E6 A/B set and the Union Pacific E6 A/B set.

 

The rainy weather provides the perfect time to play catch up on your reading. Come in and check out our current stock of Historical Society Magazines.


Also, take a look at the Latest edition of 'The Dispatchers Office' featuring an article from long time customer Jay Becker.


Pictures in the article and on the cover were taken by Brian Sopke who will be doing a Weathering Demo later this month.

Speaking of the Weathering Demo, we have had a LOT of interest in this event. Previously we were hoping for maybe 10 people but it looks like there may be more than that who plan on attending. If you do plan on attending the Demo please give us a call or let us know when you are in the store so we know how many people to expect.
