| March 31, 2008 | The 2008 East Coast Large Scale Show was a resounding success. It was great actually meeting our customers, and chatting with everyone who stopped by our booth. This year I had the privilege of having two friendly, knowledgeable assistants, Michelle and Sarah. We were showing our prototype for the all new CONCRETE VIADUCT KIT. You can see it in the photo of our booth below. For more photos and information, Click Here. | ||||||||||||||||

HOLY COW ! ! ! - Again.
Be sure to stop by our booth at this year's East Coast Large Scale Show at the York Fairgrounds in Pennsylvania on Friday, March 28 and Saturday the 29th. We will be unveiling an entirely NEW PRODUCT at the show. This has been in the works for some time now and we think it will be a real crowd pleaser. Of course, we do not yet have a release date, but hope to have this new product on the market later this year. For those of you who are not able to attend the show we will post photos and information about it after the show. |

HOLY COW ! ! ! Sorry it's been so long since any kind
of news has been posted. It seems we've been too busy making news to
post anything about it. Our newest addition to our expanding product
line is the 36" Concrete Pier Extension. They are now in stock
and ready for your layout. Use this item below the 24" Pier Extension,
which itself is used below the 12" Concrete pier to get you track up to
a height that you don't have to bend over to reach! M.S.R.P. for the 36"
Extension is $25.95. Be sure to stop by our booth at this year's East Coast Large Scale Show at the York Fairgrounds in Pennsylvania on Friday, March 30 and Saturday the 31st. And last, but not least, there will be new photos of our own layout under construction plus some more customer photos - soon.

Bridge Price Increase in
effect 01/01/06. We have been forced to
increase the prices of our Deck Girder Bridges. Two primary factors have
driven this: First, the price of shipping has dramatically risen, mostly
due to fuel, and second, the cost of steel has also risen. It is in such
great demand in China that the government has been rationing businesses
there to a monthly quota. When they have used up their allotment they must
wait until the next month to receive more. Our price increase affects our
line of Deck Girder Bridges only. All
other items will remain at their current prices. We believe our products
remain the best quality and value available. Plan ahead and buy now - before the new prices take effect. All bridges ordered by December 31, 2005 will be sold at their existing prices.

2005 East Coast Large Scale Show
was a huge success - even bigger than last
year. We showed up with our all new 10' long diorama as seen below. Check
back for pictures and story of how we whipped it up in 6 weeks. This
diorama allowed us to display a 12", 24", 35", and 46" bridge on our new
12" and 24" piers. We also included an operating N Scale layout at the
bottom to keep the little ones occupied while we talked to you moms and
dads. A big thank you to all who purchased our products through any of our
dealers who also attended the show.

| August 3, 2004 | Major Update!!! New Photo Gallery 7 added. New Movie Gallery added. NEW CONCRETE PIERS ANNOUNCED on Products page. NEW 12" Deck Girder Bridges due Mid - Late October. We are sad to say the previously announced Steel Trestle System will be delayed as both the tooling and the unit prices were prohibitively expensive to move ahead with. This project is not dead, but it is on life support until we can figure a way to make them available at a price almost anyone can afford, without sacrificing detail and quality you have come to expect from us. | ||||||||||||||||
| May 19 - 24 2004 | We will be at the Mid West Large Scale Show in Springfield, Illinois and unable to process any orders during that time. Please try back. | ||||||||||||||||
| April 2,3,4, 2004 | East Coast Large Scale Show was a huge success. We displayed all of our bridges and previewed a new line of piers and abutments by Mainline Enterprise.

This has also been added to our links page. We will also be exhibiting at the Mid West Large Scale Show in May. Here's a shot of our booth... | ||||||||||||||||
