Update on the Babbitt Railway Supply line
of O scale locomotive kits.

Still working on the office extension that will house the loco kit facility - the roof is finally in place and shingled, and wall sheathing is nearly done. Electrical has been started. So we are getting closer! Working in the evenings on getting all the parts into the database - a very boring task!
All the loco parts are packed in storage and will not be available until the construction is finished. Sorry for the delay!

Possible Change in B.T.S. Policy

Since we purchased Master Creations in 1998, we have upheld the MC policy of not rerunning limited edition kits. However, from the time we acquired MC, the term 'limited edition' really has not had the same meaning since we keep limited run kits in production until sales fall off. At that time, we feel the market is saturated and stop producing them.

Our logic is that some folks need time to decide if they want a kit and having a short availability window is not a good thing for them or the hobby. We are extremely happy that the majority of our kits end up on a layout and are not kept in the box to use as a future investment.

But that does not the help the modeler new to the hobby or one who has changed their modeling direction. We get calls and emails frequently from folks looking for this limited edition kit or that one, and they are frustrated by the challenges they face trying to build their layouts because these kits are no longer available.

So, we are thinking about doing what could be called an Encore Program where some of the older kits are brought back. All of the pre-B.T.S. kits will need a complete re-engineering before we put the B.T.S. label on them; they were very hard to assemble and the instructions were weak. These problems will be gone in the Encore kits.

The challenge for us is to develop a way to keep the original limited edition kit's value for the folks who purchased it just because it was a limited edition. Perhaps we could do some small changes to make the kit different, yet basically keep it looking the same. B.T.S. labels, new & improved instructions, no serial numbers, and better kit engineering will make these versions different anyway, so I suspect the reality is that the collectability will still survive on the older kits just because they are the older kits.

If you have any thoughts on this, please send us an email. E-mail Bill here!

Thanks!
Diane & Bill

Since 1979, B.T.S. has been servicing the model railroading community.

B.T.S. has a growing line of craftsman kits in TT, S, O and HO scales. Using laser-cutting technology, scale lumber, urethane and white metal castings as needed, B.T.S. kits provides the model builder with accurate and highly-detailed results. The Master Creations' line is part of the B.T.S. family of products.

B.T.S. has a line of brass S Scale details for locomotives and cars. Over 100 castings are in stock and ready to ship!

Importing brass models from Korea is another part of the B.T.S. service. Greenbrier Railroad Models are available only from B.T.S.

All B.T.S. products are intended for adult modelers and are not intended for use by children under the age of 18.

We appreciate you taking the time to visit our web site and ask that you come back often. Things are always changing here, and no one knows what will happen next.

Take care,
Bill
