Model Railroad Items For Sale

Welcome! I'm a model railroader who is constantly working on his craft. Sometimes I run into problems I need to solve by building a tool first, and thanks to modern technology I can offer this tool to other modelers who have the same problem. At other times, I'm building something unique just because I can't get what I want. Maybe I can make my little corner of the world a better place by offering you the chance to buy something?

Please e-mail me at puckdropper at yahoo dot com to order any of these items. Since every item is unique, it may take a few days to get the item ready to ship.

More items are coming, so please check back occasionally! I'm hoping to have a HO Scale house finished soon! ?>

Tools

Coupler Jig image. See Text for Details.

Coupler Jig - $1.50, Shipping included*

When body mounting a Kadee box, I often have to determine how large of shim I need to mount the box at the correct height. This jig puts the box where it needs to be in order to get an accurate measurement between the bottom of the car and the top of the coupler box. Only the white item in the foreground is included. Kadee coupler, coupler box, and screw can be included for an additional $1.

Due to manufacturing tolerances, this gauge should not be used as a substitute for the Kadee height gauge.

If ordered with other items, fifty cent ($.50) discount applies.

Kadee coupler, coupler box, and screw can be included for an additional $1.

*Shipping included in United States only.
