Shipping Update!

There’s so much happening!  What shall I tell you about first?  When I open a boxed shipment from one of the manufacturers I use, it really is like Christmas!  After hours of design, tweaking the art, and matching colors, the end product is such a joy to behold!  Today I received the much anticipated Rio Grande business cars for my Executive Line Series.  Wow!  I cannot wait for you to see these cars.  These cars are just stunning!  Can I say that?  I followed the Rio Grande’s paint scheme and how beautiful it is.  The #102 and #107 will look great on any layout, even if it is only visiting your rail line.  My challenge right now is getting the time to get these beauties on their way to you.

The Great American Circus & Wild West Show’s ‘clown bus on flat car’ started shipping last week and I need to complete it this week before I can process the Rio Grande cars.  And, I just received notice that the American Fruit Packer’s Northern Line car is ready just in time for the fall harvest season, so I need to quit writing and start packing!  It has been awhile since my last blog, though, so I wanted to include you in this excitement.

How about I leave you with a bonus?  Here is a video of the Great American Circus & Wild West Show running east bound through Oregon’s Blue Mountains.  Enjoy and please tell me how you liked it.

Thanks for all the great trains – it’s nice to have such wonderful rolling stock on the layout.

You know I’m always looking forward to the next release and its arrival with great anticipation. I treasure my Lowell Smith Signature collection.

Paul G.

I just received my Carolwood Pacific cars yesterday. They are exquisite! Every attention to detail was paid here, and I can’t thank you enough for putting this into production.  They are going to look amazing, circling my main Street miniatures display.

George H.

Blunt End Observation is a GRAND SLAM! I’ve wanted this car for ages but never figured out a good way to kitbash it.

Charlie S.

Thank you for producing such well researched quality offerings.

Dan D.

I look forward to continuing to buy trains from my favorite special run train maker. That’s how I think of you now, “The Train Maker”.  And speaking of cool trains, I just received a box loaded with great looking Texas Special cars. Thanks.  I certainly look forward to all the new releases you are planning.

J. Echlin

Many thanks for your superb offerings and beautiful work!

Jerry E.

Received GN A10 today. Absolutely stunning! I am very pleased. Thank You all.

R. LeBrun

Thank you for all that you do for the N Scale community. Your products by far, in my opinion, are the top of the line when it comes to N Scale Trains and I am always on the lookout for them when they come up for auction.

Nothing better than receiving that white box from Lowell Smith.
