Layout for sale
Jim Stefen has contacted us with the following message: I have a very large layout of the Durango Silverton HO model RR. We are selling our house and I
need to sell the complete set. I have sev-eral trains, lots of cars & engines, houses, hand built, houses, cars, people, lots of track, many ex-tras,
roundhouse, you need to see it. This would be a great project if several people got together on it. I never did finish the layout but it's pretty much
on it's way to completion. It comes apart in 3/4 sections. It's been a labor of love but can be no more. I will e-mail pictures. I live close to Maggie
Valley at exit 15 (Fines Creek area). Please call me at 828-627-9676
So anyone wanting to jump start their layout building, please call Jim Stefen, or contact the webmaster for his email.
Now you can have your own (full sized) caboose
Perhaps you might like to own a real caboose for a club house, hobby house, or even a guest house but have been concerned about the cost. We may have an
answer. We custom design and build full size do-it your-self framing kits, of your-design cabooses. We can build these kits up to 40 feet exte-rior size,
to be assembled for as little as $4000.
Our product includes the basic frame, constructed of lumber and steel, and since we only ship the un-assembled frame, allowing you to pur-chase standard
sized lumber locally, we are able to hold shipping costs to a minimum. And, the use of innovative materials and design holds the cost down further. Assembly
is easy, requiring 2 people with ordi-nary tools and no special skills to assemble the frame in about two days.
We strive to blend authenticity with the needs of our customers and while we build a caboose up to 40 feet by 12 feet or more. Because of our design flexibility
and the unpredictable needs of our customers, we prefer to have our customers purchase their own windows and doors, placing them where ever they want, as many
as they want, and in their choice of sizes and styles. We invite you to visit our website or call 951-302-3084 to
discuss your requirements.
