We've been
working on the HO Scale United Aircraft TurboTrain project for over two
years, and the excitement is building as Turbo's arrival gets closer.
On this page you will always find the latest photos of the model
progress.
Below are hand-painted test castings of our TurboTrain. Model railroaders have only waited FORTY YEARS for this model! It's about time! (Can you tell we're excited?)
PLEASE NOTE: These are first test castings
only. The production model will be even better, and will include finer
details and precision painting and lettering.
