Anybody know anything about their stuff?I just got a Midland Road center-flo off the bay.The car appears to my eyes to be a IM product (the car itself).I'd like to find some more if I can but basically I'm just curious about this company.

I have some of their cars.  They were special runs of Intermountain cars.  Most of these versions later appeared as standard Intermountain cars.
I remember a series of (probably fantasy) reefer cars, but they were not for me.  Don't know about their actual offerings, I have lost track.

Are they  still in business? I bought a few of their runs when they were focused on prototype, then they had some
quality control issues (probably out of their and IMs control and more to  do with Chinese factory poor work) and then they got too much into pricy fantasy cars. That is when I stopped paying attention.

The car you have is part of a 3 car special run they offered a few years ago, Appalachian Lines covered hoppers, AM, V&O 3 bay and Virginia Midland 2 bay. I have this set and they are nice, and, yes they used Intermountain cars. I was hoping they would do more runs like those but have not seen any.

I'm guessing they are no longer in business as I tried their web address and got some of the weirdest websites I've ever seen.If you want to try it is xxx Here's a pic of the one I got.Wish I could get more but it would require changing the road number.It is nice to know that it is a Intermountain car. :D



by the way that link is now a porn site. :o

Yesteryear models as a porn site?  I have not clicked on the link but I have visions of senior ex-models posing in their birthday suits (in provocative poses).  :facepalm:

She (Ms. Yesteryear?) used to be at the OKC train show every year.   Somewhere I have the story about the company...I didn't think they were defunct but I don't recall seeing her at the last OKC show I went to.

I thought it was a side project of IMRC? Like NSE is owned by MTL. I personally would love a set of these myself.

The Yesteryear Models inventory is listed on Intermountain's site. I didn't see any of the hoppers or boxcars that I've seen in the past, but there is quite an assortment of (fantasy) reefers, all of which are listed as being 'in-stock'.

I just picked up the V&O hopper in this set from the same ebay vendor.  Will probably get the AM just for completeness sake.  There is a lot of IM stuff on the vendor's ebay store -I wonder if this is a manufacturer's blow out?
