Good News!

This being my 45th year in the hobby business, the good news is growth continues. A total of thirteen new kits were added to the HO, S and O scale lines in 2023, and more are in the wings getting ready for their debut. Right now, the number of available kits stands at . . .

    187 - HO Scale Kits

    125 - S Scale Kits

    184 - O Scale Kits

    5 - TT Scale Kits

And hundreds of detail parts.

I greatly appreciate your continued support as we all look forward to having more fun together in 2024!

Thanks, and take care,
Bill

Newest Release!

Available NOW in O Scale!

Coming next week in S Scale!

Needing an oil column, John McCabe checked with the manufacturers. But being a cheapskate, he was not impressed with their high pricing. His shop foreman used parts he found around the shop to create two versions.

New Narrow Gauge in O Scale

Years ago, I visited a two-foot line and was impressed by the diminutive equipment. With the push from a customer, two new kits for the On2 or On30 modeler are now in stock.

What the heck!

Why has a load of mountain spring water
been dropped at the Hyde Pulp Mill?

Guess we need to introduce the
Wizard Water Works
facility to the train crew soon.
Who knows, you might like it also.

While waiting for this new kit to be released, now is the time to build the cars that will bring the mountain water to the Wizard bottling plant.

Inspired by one that ran on the Central Pacific,
this 34' Truss Rod Vat Car
is now available in HO, S and O scales.

Private Train Sale

Here is a link to the lists of my personal trains stuff in multiple scales that I have decided to sell. This stuff has been locked away in storage for too many years, and it is now time to let someone enjoy it.

Since it is my personal stuff and not part of B.T.S., there are some different ordering requirements which are explained on the link. More stuff will continue to be added as I dig through several storage buildings to see what all is there.

Check the list often!!

Yes!    I wrote a book!

Actually, I've written two and the third is in the works!

And no, I didn't take time away from B.T.S. to do it! My writing time is late at night after a full day creating, packing, and shipping kits and parts for you to enjoy.

Softcover, hardcover, and eBooks are now available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.

Softcover and hardcover versions are available to order from B.T.S. Just add one to your next kit order. Happy to inscribe and sign it, if you like.

Please take a moment and click the link below to read the synopsis and/or order online.
