Diesel Locomotive General Information

Our locomotives are constructed  of steel and aluminum with almost all details applied separately. This method of construction allows the builder to construct a very accurate model of any prototype because the detailing is completely variable. As a result of this method of construction, they have the bonus attributes of being extremely durable and are naturally heavy. Let us assemble a kit to your specifications. We can supply your locomotive in various stages of completion. From a kit of raw materials with everything except paint and assembly labor, to  kits with the lathe and milling work done, or semi-finished locomotives with all major assembly complete including machined power trucks.

We have tried to provide the most highly detailed locomotive kit possible for your locomotive. Locomotives available either powered or un-powered.
