SMD News!

We attended the Amherst Train Show in Springfield, MA on January 26-27, 2008.  It was a great show and we expect to attend next year.  Thanks to all who stopped by to say Hello!

Our next show is at the Great Scale Model Train Show in Timonium, MD on February 2-3, 2008.  We will be off to the right as you enter the Cow Palace to pay for your ticket.  For more information on the show, click here.

 

Our 5th car, a Railbox (original scheme) 50' Pullman Standard 5277 cubic foot exterior post box car, is now in stock!!!  The cars look great and are selling very well.  Do not wait to order these as you may be sorry later.

The car features a more correct color, correct logo and fonts over previous versions IM has done.  Plus it will have the usual Kadee #78 scale couplers and metal wheels.  A photo of the second proof car is above.  We will post an actual photo of a car as soon as we return from Springfield, MA.  The original Railbox scheme lasted for over two decades and these cars literally traveled on every railroad on the US, Canada, and Mexico rail network.
It is another
Spring Mills Depot exclusive car.

SMD is an authorized seller of Howard Zane's new book titled, My Life With Model Trains.  We have very few copies left.  It is hardbound and measures 11" x 12".  The photography inside is awe-inspiring.  You can read more about the book on Howard's site www.zanestrains.com.  SMD is offering a special deal, if you buy a copy of the book and pay the shipping of $6.00 (it weighs almost five pounds!), we will offer free shipping on up to 12 cars in the same order!
