Here is the near side arm for the HO scale PC-90 Piggy-Packers.  They can be positioned in either extended when lifting a trailer, or retracted when it's not needed.   Update -   It looks like production will be finished by the end of November.

Inching closer!

We are getting there, inch by inch even though at a snail's pace.  I should have some additional revised pre-production HO scale PC-90 Piggy-Packer models at the Trainfest show on November 8-10th.  Look for our booth and be sure to drop by and say hi.   I really appreciate your patience in waiting with us, and for all you encouraging us along the way.  It's definitely been a challenging project to say the least.  The factory should actually be completing production at the end of November!  Then it's the journey across the Pacific with delivery in early January.  Stay tuned for a second batch of HO scale PC-90s in all new prototype paint schemes.   Production of these should be quicker since the (hopefully) the kinks will be worked out!

Parts galore!

Here are some test shots for our newly re-cut HO-scale PC-90 Piggy-Packers.  If the newly re-cut test shots clear our quality check, then our factory will roll with production!

One really cool model + Updates

If you haven't seen J.R. Boye's railroad modeling, you're missing out.  Here are a few photo samples of his work modeling the Southern Pacific's S.F. Peninsula line.  Shown here are his S.P. Burlingame Depot.  The first photo shows one of Wheels of Time bilevel commute coaches waiting at the station.  We hope you've enjoy these inspiring photos and perhaps inspire your modeling efforts.

Updates:  

HO Scale PC-90 Piggy Packers:  We just received word from the factory that the re-cut new molds will be finished by Oct. 10th. Once we receive a new sample of the model from the new molds (hopefully all will pass inspection) then the factory will be in production.  We appreciate your patience in this matter and do apologize for this inconvenience.

N-Scale 50-ft PC&F Insulated Box Cars 2nd batch will be ready to ship from the factories towards the third week of this month with ETA to all customers just after the Trainfest Show in November.
