First time ever on the cover of a national magazine!

August 14, 2014 / Lowell Smith /

Model Railroad News has made the announcement of my first ever ‘O Scale‘ car a headline cover page story! How exciting and so fun to see! This car is impressive to behold, and I’m sure you’ll agree regardless of the scale.

The American Fruit Packers ‘Cascadian‘ label car is being produced by Atlas on their wood ice-reefer body and will be available in the next few weeks. Many have already been pre-sold from my web site. Should this go the way I hope, I will be producing the entire AFP series in the same order that I did in N Scale.

So, my O Scale friends can look at the line-up and see what’s next.

I have other things coming so stay tuned!

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.
