AUGUST 9, 2005- AN INTRODUCTION TO BLACKSTONE
MODELS
Blackstone Models, is a new kind of model train
company dedicated to the creation of high quality models, blending
old-world craftsmanship with today’s state-of-the-art electronic
technology.
Blackstone Models is pleased to introduce a
new line of affordable ready-to-run HOn3 locomotives and rolling
stock. HOn3 is the perfect scale for the modeler with limited
space, but the desire for a narrow gauge empire!
Our first offering is the classic D&RGW
K-27 “Mudhen”, a 2-8-2 Mikado. Other narrow gauge engines
will soon follow, each with die cast construction, intricate detailing
and optionally offered with a SoundTraxx Tsunami Digital Sound
Decoder.
Blackstone Models will also supply rolling stock
needs, beginning with our 3000 Series D&RGW box cars and 5500
Series stock cars.
While our initial focus is on producing a line
of HOn3 products, we are certainly interested in any suggestions
you may have regarding other projects in any and all scales and
gauges.
Blackstone Models operates as a division of
SoundTraxx and can be reached through our offices in Durango.
If you have questions regarding the product line, please feel
free to contact us. The Project Manager for Blackstone Models
is Jeff Johnson and he can be reached at the main office for any
questions and or suggestions you may have.
