About

Our Store will close on May 28, 2024 for about a month.

We are modelers first and sellers second, we do our best to help when we can. If we can answer a question we will, if not we try and find you an answer. Have a fun day, stay safe, and most importantly, Enjoy Your Trains! If our selling portal has no stock showing, we are just working on the inventory, working a train show, or maybe just reflecting on the way things are; we will be back in a little while.

We hate to mention this, but the vast majority of what we offer in parts is no longer replaceable as Athearn has mostly stopped offering spare parts. If we happen to have something that catches your eye, you might consider this sad fact into your buying decision. Just the past few months we've seen several very popular items sell out and try as we may, no replacements have turned up. Sad but true. Unless things change, this problem will only worsen with time.

This is my second purchase of Athearn semi truck kits from this seller and he was terrific to deal with. All parts were new as shown. Everything arrived in perfect condition, and the shipping was quick. This seller worked with me on a special order, and I appreciate that very much. Both the price of the kits, and the shipping were very reasonable. I continue to be a happy customer.

Thank you, John, for a great price, sensible packing and postage, and speedy delivery. In this day and age, where individual attention seems to be a forgotten art, it is refreshing to buy from a seller who has mastered the art. A++++

Miller Engineering HO/N JESUS SAVES SIGN MLR9072-NEW
Dec 18, 2017
Two Faced JESUS SAVES Sign
I love this sign, it's 2 sided so you can see this one from either direction, very cool. My only caveat is when gently spreading the sign contacts apart, don't be too rough or you can kill the sign, or at least a part of it. The tab that sticks out from the cross on one side is what you spread to expose the contacts, then insert them, keeping the dots lined up, with the two ribbon wire female connectors. There a lot of chase patterns in these signs, I really like the ones which have the last letter "S" in SAVES flickering like it's about to burn out, talk about a run down neighborhood look; it's way cool. Just be careful not to stress the contacts tab or you'll be very unhappy. I won't say these are fragile, but they will not survive rough handling at all.

Walthers HO 53' GSC Piggyback Service Flat Car - Milwaukee Road 57356
Oct 17, 2018
Decent "old school" piggyback car.
A little bit thick on some of the details, but definitely sturdy enough to survive in most club type environments. Decent looking model. Thought I'd give one a try to run with my homemade cars, and this car fits right in and was very easy to put into service. I would not pay retail for one, but if found on sale, I'd recommend trying at least one. It really is a 3 1/2 star rating; somewhere between it's OK and better than I thought.
Atlas 20 001 396 HO N de M 40' Postwar Box Car w/6' Door #66471
Jul 27, 2019
Another Great Boxcar Model
Every once in a while a model manufacturer produces something just right for the era one chooses to replicate. My era is the period around and/or just after this nations bicentennial, so cars minus the running boards were becoming the norm and this little gem of a car is just right for that look. Considering the cost verses the details, this car is a bargain as well. Separate grab irons and ladders, not to mention cut lever details are included on this model making it a the perfect addition to the roster. Thank you Atlas!
