On30 ROLLING STOCK KITS

International Hobbies is developing and distributing a line of ¼ inch scale narrow gauge (On30) rolling stock and locomotive kits.

These kits are designed to be compatible with the Bachmann® Porter 0-4-0 and 0-4-2 saddle tank locomotives, Davenport diesel,

Shay and other small gauge O scale narrow gauge locomotives. While these kits do not represent a specific prototype they are

characteristic of small wood narrow gauge freight cars that were in use from the 1880’s to the 1930’s or even later. The kits draw

on prototype features found on the Gilpin tram, West Side Lumber Co., Sandy River & Rangley Lakes and other narrow gauge railroads.

They are short, a little over 14 and 20 scale feet over the end sills, and look great with small locomotives like the Porter and Shay.

This line of kits will appeal to those who model narrow gauge and especially those interested in logging, mining, industrial or short lines,

and those that are new to O scale narrow gauge, especially On30. The trucks are available separately.

The kits are manufactured of injected molded styrene and are designed to be simple and easy to assemble. Trucks with metal wheels,

pinpoint metal axles and brass bearings are included. The kit is designed to use Kadee® No. 5 couplers (not included).

Standard hobby tools and glue are all that are required to build the kit. A modeler with some experience building any type of plastic kit

should be able to build one in an evening or two.

INTERNATIONAL HOBBIES also sells many other items for the O scale modeler. We stock a huge range of figures, detail parts and kits

not normally found in hobby shops or other mail order outlets. Included are over 500 different figures from Victorian ladies to streetwalkers.

Domestic animals, birds and wildlife are also available. These range from dogs, cats, horses, cows, sheep and pigs to owls, foxes,

hedgehogs, rabbits and more. There are hundreds of detailing parts and kits from household items, wood barrels and sinks (yes, even the

kitchen sink) to machine tools, “jerry” cans, wheel chocks, rain gutters and down spouts, kits of early steam and gas engines, steamrollers,

cranes, tractors, cars and trucks. We also stock some neat On30 “critter” type locomotives and small steam locomotive kits. There is a wide

range of soldering supplies by Carrs. These include especially formulated solders for modeling with multiple melting points. Special fluxes

and other soldering aids plus precision shop tools as well as “how to” books on building models, layouts, weathering, track and other

modeling skills (not Kalmbach books) are stocked. There are also books on worldwide railways; featuring the small and obscure, but

interesting, lines around the world. There is a lot more. Our huge (80 pages) O Scale catalog is $6.00. We accept all major credit cards.

Shipping/handling is $6.00, slightly higher east of the Rocky Mountains. Over seas at cost. California residents please add sales tax. 2/3/2005
