First time ever on the cover of a national magazine!

August 14, 2014 / Lowell Smith / Comments Off on First time ever on the cover of a national magazine!

 

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!

That car is about the greatest thing I’ve ever seen in N scale!  Excellent work!

Every aspect of the trip was professionally done.  You and Barbara were on top of every change and your matter-of-fact assurances speak highly of your professionalism.  Jo Ann is a retired chef  and we know what good food is, and the meals provided on the CZ trip were stellar! BRAVO to you and Barbara for…
