MSRP: $13.99 (Catalog No. #200)
Heritage Scale Models, 272 N725W, Hobart, IN 46342, has released its latest resin kit, Kit #200-HO Scale-Coal Storage Piles for Retail Coal Yards & Small Engine Terminals.
The Heritage Scale Models kit is based on open air coal storage piles that were once a common site in retail coal yards that lacked enclosed storage facilities and used portable conveyors to unload coal from hopper cars and reload coal into delivery trucks. They could also be seen at branchline and shortline engine terminals that used portable conveyors or cranes with clamshell buckets to load coal into steam engine tenders.
Cast in realistic black resin, each kit contains (3) three castings consisting of (2) two full coal piles and (1) one partially depleted pile. The castings can be directly placed onto layout scenery or may be cut to fit open storage bins. The model kit retails for $13.99.
Heritage Scale Models kits can be ordered directly from the manufacturer or check for them at you local hobby dealer. Please visit www.heritagescalemodels.net for further model information and other available kits.

Transfer Barge
MSRP: $99.95 (Catalog No. HO-103)
This small transfer barge is based on one used by the Canadian Pacific ca. 1890-1910s. It is typical of the small wood transfer barges used on inland waters. This barge will accommodate a maximum of six 36' cars with the double rail configuration. As with all large wood barges, king posts and hogging cables provided the necessary support. A crude wood ladder provided access to the cable turnbuckles for tension adjustments. Scuttle hatches allowed access into the barge interior for maintenance and the mandatory bilge pumping.
This kit allows the modeler to use their own desired rails and gauge (standard or narrow). Built for double track, a single standard gauge will also work. Rail may be powered by soldering a small phosphor bronze pickup to the rail (makes for an easy connection when the barge is butted up to transfer bridge).
Instructions are full color and provided on a CD-ROM.

Length: 18 3/8 inches (46.6 cm)

MSRP: $100 (Catalog No. 10003)
Railstars is pleased to announce RAILbooster, a robust, 3A DCC booster designed for reliability. Whether you are expanding your layout, building a micro-layout, or constructing layout modules, your digital locomotives require digital power, and RAILbooster can provide that power, reliably and safely on large layouts and small alike.
RAILbooster provides an adjustable output voltage of 11V to 16V for Z, N, TT, and H0 gauge models, and includes integrated power management hardware for quickly and reliably detecting shorts, over-currents, and other faults on your layout.
On larger layouts, RAILbooster permits a modular approach to power management. Compatible with all manufacturer's digital systems, RAILbooster provides integrated power and fault management to individual power districts on your large layout.
On smaller layouts, inexpensive entry-level command stations often aren�t powerful enough. Expand your entry-level digital system with RAILbooster for plenty of power to get the trains rolling on your small layout.

Fogg in the Cockpit
MSRP: $32.95 (Catalog No. 9781612000046)
Often referred to as the dean of American railroad artists, Howard Fogg's career spanned half a century and some 1,200 paintings. However, few of his enthusiasts have been aware of his career as a fighter pilot in the U.S. 8th Air Force during World War II. Fortunately Fogg left behind a diary, proving himself as adept with a pen as with a brush.
Based in England with the 359th Fighter Group, Captain Fogg flew 76 missions in bomber escort and ground attack roles at the controls of P-47s and P-51s. From his backstage encounter in a London theater with Lawrence Olivier and Vivian Leigh, to the chaplain's benediction on D-Day, to a mission escorting B-17s near the snow-capped Alps to drop supplies to French freedom fighters, his diary offers a firsthand look at his fascinating wartime career.
The diary is supplemented with material by Richard and Janet Fogg, and incorporates photographs, examples of Howard’s early paintings, political cartoons, sketches, and paintings that typify his railroad art. From the details of the airmen's life to the decisions that affected their fates, Fogg in the Cockpit presents a hidden side of one of the 20th century's great artistic geniuses.
