This page is dedicated to the HIGH art of rail modeling, carried on by skilled artisans and craftspeople who specialize in prototypical appearance and total quality construction and techniques. We don't mind if you carry on your trade as a commercial enterprise; in fact, we aim to help support your effort. But this is NOT a place for product which is merely assembled by hand in bulk quantities. If you, or if someone you know, does this kind of work please
give us details so we may list you or the producer here. In addition
to scenic items and structures, we are pleased to list customization
services such as locomotive or rolling stock painting and detailing.
Listing here is completely free. Contact me at
jsgeare@yahoo.com
to arrange for your listing. |

Brief Synopsis | |
| The Bridges of David Stockwell | There is nothing quite so impressive as a sweeping wood trestle and bridge combination spanning a yawning canyon or cut in the mountains. And it is especially impressive when it is designed and built for your layout. Learn about the man who does the work and see his projects. You will be intrigued by his work and plesantly surprised by his prices. He works in various scales. | |
| Matt Duggan | Matt's "Paw of a Bear" web site gives just a glimpse of the incredible kits he hand builds for disciminating modelers in various scales. Some are customizations of main stream products such as DPM; others are completely his own work. In addition to the kits he carries in stock, he'll consider custom work to your specifications. Incredible. | |
| Some of the finest railroad art in the world is not in books, paintings or calendars, but rather applied directly to actual box cars, gondolas and other rolling stock. I'm talking about "grafitti," which gives rail cars real character. Motorpurrr (and yes, that's with 3 "r's" at the end) does it right. Link takes you directly to an item in Motorpurrr's Bonanza booth. You'll be amazed. | ||
| Some people just have knack and a great eye for painting, finishing and applying graphic details which turn the ordinary into the unbelievable. Mike Militello is one such person. His "gig" is finding "new old stock" which is undecorated or badly finished, and yard "old used or toy type cars and engines and making them appear to be custom made, high end models. Which, in fact, they ARE, after he gets done with them. Follow the link to see his amazing work and contact him for any special project YOU have in mind. |
