We have just received 3 collections of slightly used railroad books, with a value in excess of $13,000! Click on 'books, used'  and it will take you to our page 15. Included are copies of almost every book ever written on Colorado railroads, including copies of those that are extremely rare (many of which are autographed); also many non-Colorado titles.

Athearn has acquired all the tooling from Tower 55 (T55) for their plastic line of locos. Athearn will manufacture these models under their Genesis line of super detailed models, and as before, the models will be available with or without sound. This includes the SD70ACe's, ES44AC's, ES44DC's, etc. Athearn's prices are yet to be announced, but certainly will not be greater than T55's prices.
