Re-introducing our Custom Editions line of vocation trucks!

Wheels of Time makes a wonderful line of everyday work trucks to bring your model railroad layout alive in HO and in N scales  - under our Custom Editions line. No longer will Shapeways handle our production of these trucks. We just made it better for you in the following ways:  1) Quality of parts is even better, since we have better control over the way it is printed.  Our print quality is smoother than any previously released 3D printed Wheels of Time product. 2) Price drop. We are passing the savings on to you! ** 3) After feedback from our HO scale community, we decided to 3D print the HO scale tires and wheels as separately applied part. As in both, the HO and N scales, the wheels (axle) are designed to rotate freely and are not fixed! 4) International customers can now order directly from us just like our other WOT products. 5) We have added two additional truck types to our exciting line up. Check it out.  HO scale click here.  N scale click here.

Wheels of Time is committed to excellence. History in your hands!  We will have actual production models at the N scale Convention in Salt Lake City. Drop by and say hi.

**For those who are waiting for your order trucks, and have paid the previous price, we will be contacting you and refunding you the difference.

Revised N-scale Conrail PC&F Ex Post Insulated Boxcars!

After studying the ORER (April 1987 and July 1990), and photos from Jeff Lopez and his coordination with the Conrail Historical Society, we have decided to revised the N scale Conrail PC&F Exterior Post Insulated Boxcar numbers back to 360xxx series to better reflect this car history. However, Wheels of Time item numbers (SKU) does not change. It's still in the WOT #61171 through #61178.

Revised Conrail artwork A little bit of background of our changes:  Majority of Conrail MTDS PC&F cars were not renumbered from PC series. Only 4 cars were renumbered to 365xxx series as of 1987 with an addition of 4 more cars as of 1990. Further, marjority of the cars kept their "loading equipment" for the duration of their service with Conrail . . . so RBL markings.  They were used for food and beverage service and were equipped with pallets. Strangely, they kept their originally weigh date and were never reweighted when repainted. Our revised car numbers will reflect these changes to give you a more historically accurate car. By the way, the photo in Morning Sun Books Conrail Color Guide pg 75 is actually a photo of an uncommon renumbering and was not the norm.  

Our revised car numbers are listed below for our N-scale Conrail PC&F boxcar. For those who have already pre-ordered these cars, the WOT item number is what we will be using to fulfill the orders.
