Custom Builders and Custom Painters
Have your models built, painted, and detailed. We work with brass, resin, and styrene. All manufacturers and models of freight cars, engines, and buildings are accepted. Gauges include: HO, O, and N. Listed below are our services.
Our service options include the following:

q Custom Design and Specification
Every model is put together by hand. Each detail piece is accurately placed. Certain pieces are custom designed and built.
Resin freight car kits are then professionally painted. Decals are painstakingly placed to ensure that they are accurate.
If requested the resin freight car is weathered to specifications.
If the model is for display, certain extra detail pieces are added. If it is to run on a layout, it is run on a test track to make sure it operates smoothly.
All models are well-packaged for shipping to your door.
