Sign up on their website www.scaletrains.comWelcome to ScaleTrains.com™ and our first e-mail newsletter. We truly appreciate your support and interest in our new company. We’re also thankful for our families’ commitment plus the countless blessings that have allowed us to pursue our dream. When we embarked on the journey to become a new model railroad manufacturer, we challenged ourselves to push the boundaries of our Industry while keeping every type of modeler in mind. Eventually this led us to our mission - creating Innovative ScaleTrains™ models. When we reveal our first locomotive, freight cars, and vehicles this November, we’ll have everything from a value-conscious HO scale freight car kit to an HO scale locomotive worthy of being exhibited in an American history museum. Through 2016, we plan to unveil several all-new products including: HO Scale • Two locomotives • Five freight cars • Two vehicles N Scale • Two locomotives • Two freight cars • Two vehicles Each of these models is based upon a different platform and most will be delivered between this November and the end of 2016. And when we announce a new model, we’ll have painted and decorated sample so you’ll know exactly what to expect. As we prepare to launch ScaleTrains.com at Trainfest in Milwaukee, WI, we’ll be sharing several exciting details along the way including visiting the National Train Show later this month and an opportunity to win tickets to our November 13th Preview Party. Thank you for joining us on this adventure and being a part of the fun! Sincerely, The ScaleTrains.com Team |

5....4.....3....2.....1......here it comes....... before that first mention of a certain 1970's six axle unit, or that one-off made in Alabama....in speculation of what Scale Trains is going to produce.

ScaleTrains.com has the potential to be the most exciting company in a long time, surpassing Atlas and Exactrail. Why? Exactrail can't or will not produce a HO scale diesel, and Atlas can't or will not produce a new diesel or vehicle in HO.
This will make Trainfest a must-see event now, and all I can say is "HOOHAH!"

Just went to the website and looked up on Google maps the two addresses listed. One they are sorta out in the middle of nowhere, very nice area. And two, the address and mailing address are across the street from each other. Street view shows a nice simple blue warehouse/manufacturing building. Actually looks and sounds like this could be really good.

That's a nice area south of Etowah. If they do something local there... It will be Clinchfield or CSX.

"Worthy of being exhibited in an American history museum"...
Hmmm... National Museum of American History... John Bull or Southern #1401? I'm betting on the latter - a Pacific...

That leaves the Ingalls 4-S as a likely candidate; it was notable as being the only locomotive ever manufactured in Mississippi. |

Everyones favorite engine is a "likely candidate" but that's not how a manufacturer looks at it - but you probably know that. They are looking at the "big picture".

Shane Wilson's name is at the bottom of the newsletter. He was with Athearn until a year ago when he moved on and now we know why. I wish him the best and hope for some great models from his new startup.

Shane Wilson's name is at the bottom of the newsletter. He was with Athearn until a year ago when he moved on and now we know why. I wish him the best and hope for some great models from his new startup. Larry Their latest email letter wants to see the difference. I hope the model is as good as the ad wording!!! They don't about pricing, but it could be more expensive than the competition if they offer real Museum Quality. The detail about the Tri color lights should be a good clue.
Legendary ScaleTrains™ On Saturday, November 14th, we invite you to see the difference. You won’t believe your eyes when we unveil our first Museum Quality™ locomotive at Trainfest® in Milwaukee, WI. Museum Quality models are historically accurate replicas of some of the most famous locomotives in American railroading history. We combine exhaustive research and a commitment to perfection to create the ultimate HO scale model. We have also added enhanced sound effects, LED lighting, and animation to bring each locomotive to life.
Our first Museum Quality locomotive has only been offered in brass previously. Our first legendary scale train features selectable tricolor class lights; illuminated instrument panel; rotating bearing caps when appropriate; and numerous road number specific details. One of the objectives of our company and cornerstones of the Museum Quality brand is to support North American railroad preservation. We believe maintaining historically significant equipment provides a connection to our past and an opportunity to encourage an interest in trains and model railroading. For every Museum Quality model sold on the first production run, we will make a financial contribution to the historical organizations who graciously helped us create our first locomotive. This November, discover Museum Quality trains and see why they are just as legendary as the original. The ScaleTrains.com Crew |
