Athearn Discontinues the Beloved Blue Box Line

Athearn recently announced that they are ceasing the production of their Blue Box line immediately.  They have decided to focus more on the Ready To Run line in the future.  While we still have some stock, once these kits are gone we will not be able to order any more.  For a complete listing of the ones that we still have in stock please check out the on-line catalogue. 

So what does that mean for the modeller that likes to build the kits over having the ready-to-run product?  Well to fill the gap left by Athearn we will be stocking more Accurail car kits starting immediately. 

We are also ordering in more of the Branchline Yard Master series kits for those that have been asking about us expanding that line.

While these are some of the items we are bringing in as standard stock to fill the gap left by the Blue Box line there are many other kits out there made by others that may have a high level of difficulty and are ordered in as well.  Some of these are the George Taylor kits, Sylvan and Branchline Blueprint Trains.
