For the scratchbuilder . . .

These days with everything ready-to-run, we want to let the scratchbuilders know that you are not forgotten. I personally enjoy building things from scratch or "kitbashing" to make things look really real. So we are happy to announce a new set of baggage doors and roofs in N scale!  They will be available when our N scale 80-ft Baggage-Horse cars are released later this fall. Here are some details and photos.

• Item No. 999251 - Door Set B - (10) 4'-10" small doors; wood doors, modernized, wood modified;  2 sprues, unpainted;

Model railroading is fun!

At Wheels of Time, we have the great pleasure of bringing concepts into realities. This can be summed up in the words: model-making. To keep my creative juices flowing, it's always fun to do my own project. Here is an example which of a SP City of S.F. Diner being re-worked to be better reflect the real thing:  new paint, scale width vestibule diaphragms, roof kitchen vents, all new details for the under frame including a 3/4-width water tank housing, propane tanks, battery boxes, A/C equipment, new bolsters to accept the proper GSC 41-N-11 passenger trucks. Hopefully you will get to do some model railroading and model-making yourself this weekend or next. Enjoy!
