If you want first-quality services for your locomotive or rolling stock then
the Train Buddy™ is there for you.
We specialize in doing it right. We do most things without asking but a
few we would rather get your ok to do.
All of our services
INCLUDE a tune up of the workings of your equipment. We:
-
Gauge all wheels and couplers.
-
Lubricate all accessible areas.
-
Alert you to problems that would keep your cars and locos from running
right and will take care of them if asked to do so.
We provide some first rate services that others cannot or will not do:
-
Install and program decoders.
-
Install LED's and other bulbs.
-
Decal, number, paint, weather and detail all rolling stock.
If you give us your model specs (era, country location and
road name) we will even do research to determine the correct paint, decal,
weathering or other factors that you would like to know or like us to model.
Assembly or make to order is our challenge and we love challenges.
Do you have a fantasy railroad? We have done Harry Potter and Thomas
the Tank Engines in DCC with lights!
