Industry
With an American lineage dating back to the
1870s, World’s Fairs have consistently wowed
guests with demonstrations saluting past, present,
and future technological achievements. Among
the most crowd-pleasing attractions were those
celebrating railroad innovation, including the
1939 New York World’s Fair exhibit featured on
our nostalgic cover print.
In addition to the colorful selection of World’s
Fair-related merchandise found on page 15, be
sure to also check out our newest exciting items
such as the N Scale Amtrak train sets on page 7
(the “El Capitan” and “Southwest Limited”),
our light-up RMS Lusitania model (1/236
scale) on page 17, and a 1 /18 scale replica of
Elvis Presley’s iconic ’55 Pink Cadillac on page 60.
So, make your selections and call us toll free at

Jim Jordan. Among the most popular exhibits at the legendary 1939 New York World’s Fair – attended by more than
44 million awed spectators – was the “Railroads on Parade” display, a celebration of train technology throughout time.
This limited edition print features three striking locomotives including the gold and crimson “Coronation Scot”
(a British engine that hit 114 mph in 1937), a New York Central J-3A (among the most beautiful engines ever designed),
and a streamlined Pennsylvania S-1 (which ran at 60 mph on “static” display throughout the event).

About Our Models... Unless otherwise noted, all of the HO scale locomotive models in this catalog feature a finely molded
body, glazed windows, a powerful motor, a die cast chassis, RP25 metal wheels, magnetically operated knuckle couplers, and
arrive ready to run. Typically, most N scale rolling stock models come with plastic wheels. A final reminder: products in this
catalog are not toys; they are intended for modelers and railfans ages 14 and above.
If, in the catalog, you see one of these badges, it means that the loco next to it has built-in DCC
or DCC & sound! Unless otherwise noted, if a product is “DCC-equipped,” it works on standard
DC or DCC systems.
