Design and build a lightweight layout system easily and fast! No experience necessary, no complicated calculations, no power tools and no dusty mess.
Quality roadbed and track-bed products ensure a quiet, efficient operation within a realistic setting and offer the quietest, smoothest train operation.
We do not manufacture plastic screws and have never tested their usage. This is how we recommend you attach track to your Track-Bed.
We recommend using Foam Tack Glue. Sand surface of Track-Bed with 120-grit sandpaper, then spread a thin layer of glue over the Track-Bed surface and install track. Pin in place with Foam Nails while drying.

Buildings to meet every modeling preference. From complete scenes to individual, architecturally accurate structures and complete cities in a box, modelers can choose from a comprehensive selection of HO scale structures.
Use the Just Plug Light Block Kit. Apply Masking Paint to interior walls to keep the building from glowing. Press the included Ribbon Putty into interior corners, joints, and along the bottom edges of structures to seal the seams.

Yes, you can.
No electrical knowledge or special tools needed...just plug and you're done! The Just Plug® Lighting System is a quick and easy way to add realism and interest to new and existing layouts and other projects.
The rated output for the Power Supply is 1000 milliamps (mA). To determine the total number of Just Plug LED Lights the Power Supply can support, add up the milliamps of each LED Light being used. The milliamps are listed on the light packages. Total number of milliamps should not exceed 1000mA per Power Supply. If 1000mA is exceeded, the Power Supply's non-replaceable thermal fuse will be overloaded.
We have created grade crossing signals with Red Flashing LED Nano Lights. Run and glue the LED wire alongside the pole and crossing bar. Drill a hole through the bar and light fixture large enough for the Nano Light to fit through and super glue it in place. Camouflage the wire by painting it the same color as the pole and crossing bar.
There are many different types of grade crossing signals. We cannot guarantee this technique will work for your particular signal.

Choose from a wide selection of delightful scenes that tell the stories of ordinary people and the common sights of everyday life.
Always begin by washing the metal castings in warm, soapy water. Rinse well and let dry. This will remove any remaining mold release agent and allow the glue and paint to adhere better.
Glue Metal Castings with fast-setting epoxy or cyanoacrylate adhesive (super glue).
When using super glue, a good bond depends on surface contact. Super glue is not filler-type glue. Use sparingly, too much glue will make a poor bond. Apply a tiny drop onto one of the parts being glued, then hold parts together for about 10 seconds. For larger Castings, hold parts together and apply a small drop of glue where parts meet. Capillary action allows the glue to seep into the contact area, creating a strong bond.
Allow glue to dry completely before moving to the next construction step.
If the metal castings were painted prior to assembly, be sure to scrape paint off glue points.
