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 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.…

My kids absolutely love the Christmas cars! The C.K. Holiday, along with the Carolwood and Disney cars makes a wonderful Christmas train. It made many a loop under our tree this year. Facebook Twitter Google+ Pinterest
