SNOWPLOWS from the “Plow Man”

Perhaps you saw the article in CN Lines Vol. 16, No. 3 a few months ago about Ron Keith who scratchbuilt over 200 HO snowplows.  All but a handful were prototype specific from many USA and Canadian railroads and are beautifully detailed, painted and lettered.  We are fortunate to have the collection and many of the plows are now on display.  Come on down and check them out.  You will be amazed.

HO BRASS COLLECTION

BRASS LIST    UPDATE  Jan.12.13:  Owing to the vast numbers of emails and calls for brass pieces (now in excess of 300 items) from all over North America, we have opted to ease off on ebay sales and focus on responding to these requests.   All inquiries from Day 1 have been recorded by date received and we will be processing requests accordingly starting January 21st.   The collection is stored off-site and the vendor remains an integral part of the disposition process.   We will be obtaining the brass in groups of 30-40 items at a time (covering several individuals), inspecting all pieces, determining prices and hopefully, quickly concluding deals.  Then we move on to the next group.  We have opted for this route because many of the inquiries are from loyal customers and  in our opinion, we are delightfully obligated to provide this service for them given the extraordinary opportunity a collection of this magnitude presents.  Please, be patient.                      UPDATE:  Feb.7.13:  We are now dealing with clientele and their specific requests.  This is proving to be somewhat time-consuming but we will contact you.
