B.T.S. :: O Scale :: Locomotives

B.T.S. Purchases Babbitt Railway Supply Co.

The Babbitt Railway Supply Co. line of O scale locomotive kits consist of cast bronze boilers, NWSL gearing, cast aluminum or sheet brass tenders, and brass and white metal details. Over the years, many upgrades have been incorporated. Basic modeling skills, including filing, soldering, drill and tapping, are required for assembly. These kits build into basic, good running locomotives and provide a solid foundation for super detailing. Currently, the line contains a 4-6-0, 4-4-0, 4-6-2, 4-4-2, 2-6-0, and 4-8-2, all using 70 inch drivers, and three different tenders. Babbitt Railway Supply Co. started around 1947 with Gordon Varney releasing an O Scale 4-6-0 under the Varney name. This tooling was sold to General Models Corp. who added addition wheel arrangements, and was then picked up by All Nation in 1950. The steam locomotive portion of the line was later sold to George Sennhauser in Babbitt, MN who created the current name and reintroduced the line adding the 4-8-2. In 1993, Boyce Yates acquired and moved the line to Kentucky where he offered six different O Scale locomotive kits and many detail parts. Now the 60+ year old line has moved to B.T.S. in West Virginia. B.T.S., with over 30 years experience in the hobby, is best known as one of the oldest companies offering laser-cut craftsman kits in O, S, HO, and TT Scales. In addition, B.T.S. has a line of brass and white metal details. Brass imports and urethane kits are also available. The Babbitt locomotive line and all parts will again be available, and will be added to the B.T.S. catalog and web site. Watch the B.T.S. web site (www.btsrr.com) for future announcements.

Blackstone Models :: HO Scale :: Freight Cars

Economy Door 3000 Series Boxcar No. 3219 Rio Grande Gold scheme

MSRP: $54.95 (Catalog No. B340119)

Baggage car 126 and Combine 212 had previously been used to haul general supplies for the Silverton trains. Now they were outfitted with concession equipment for the growing passenger business. It was therefore decided to utilize freight Boxcar nos. 3219 and 3468 to handle the baggage needs. To keep these cars looking comparable with the decade-old "Grande Gold" paint scheme, they were decorated in the bright livery to compliment the passenger car fleet on the daily summer runs to Silverton. We have accurately recreated economy door boxcar no. 3219's gold paint scheme with the Flying Grande herald for you - it will make a great companion to the previously-released 3468 boxcar! This is the only numbered car of this production run to only be available in a non-weathered version.

Economy Door 3000 Series Boxcar Supply Car No. 03131

MSRP: $54.95-59.95 (Catalog No. B340901 & B340901W)

Most of the outfit boxcars used on the Rio Grande narrow gauge throughout the 1900s came from the old 4000 series boxcars of the previous century. Each one was built for a unique purpose, ranging from kitchens, sleepers and diners for the working stiffs to rolling offices for foremen and supervisors. At least three 3000 Series boxcars were converted to work service. Boxcars 3057, 3131 and 3085 were converted to work cars after previously being used in revenue service. The original boxcar numbers were retained with the simple addition of a "0" at the front to distinguish the reassignment. We've recreated the 03131 as it was with the economy hardware and painted with the Flying Grande livery.

Custom Model Railroads is please to announce the introduction of a new HO scale building kit.

After being pulverized the coal is used to fire the furnaces that generate steam. Spent fuel is then loaded out of the bottom of the building into trucks for disposal. Steam is used to power the city steam system or used to run turbines to generate electricity. Kit features laser cut acrylic parts, ladders, fire escapes, piping, detailed cast chimneys, cast manifolds, cast cyclones and vents. Everything you see is included in the kit (rolling stock not included). An interior structure is included to create a mass that represents the furnaces and chimneys inside the building.

The majority of the PRR's Wreck Derrick fleet was built by Industrial Works, later Industrial Brownhoist. There were four major classes of derricks used post-1900, W100, W120, W150 and W250. With each came an increased lifting capacity. The W250 were required after purchase of the J1a locomotives in 1945, all were steam powered and self-propelled. In addition to these major classes, each one had subclasses based on the length of their booms, please refer to Rob Schoenberg’s site showing diagrams of each class. http://prr.railfan.net/freight/PRRdiagrams.html This sheet includes enough decals to decal 3 Wreck Derricks with two correct numbers for each car class. The number jumble contains all three of the 4 number prefixes (4907, 4957, & 4909), with an additional jumble to cover any number accurately seen in photos. Also, a jumble is included for making your own derrick weight, which also varied through the service life of the derrick. See the diagram for proper placement. The W120 (kitbash-able to a W100 or W150) class is produced in plastic by Tichy. The W250 has been produced by various manufacturers.
