The production of portable media, such as DVDs and Blu-ray discs is becoming more of a problem due to the increasing cost of materials combined with lack of interest from the public.Because of this, we’re going to sell through what’s left in our stock.

ATSF 2-6-2 1010 – Brass Steam Prairie
This Key Imports HO scale model of ATSF 2-6-2 1010 is a work in progress. So far I haven’t done anything to it. I only have a few brass steam engines since my primary modeling interest is the 1990s.
WP F7A 913 – Enhanced Lighting and Sound

BN SD40 6309 – Memorial Model

SP GP35R 6322 – Kato Kodachrome
My HO scale SP GP35R 6322 is one of the first Kato models I ever owned. Way back when they were first introduced I bought two in Southern Pacific colors. This was one of those.

N Scale Log Cars – Custom Painted
