Showcase Miniatures Goodness

It’s been a while since I ordered anything from these guys, although I’ve always liked their product. But this new stuff I got in the mail today is just pure, crisp goodness. Semaphores with extra frets, redesigned signals including light capable tricolor dwarfs, smudge pots, switchstands, etc. All in kit form. Lovely stuff.
Just a happy customer here, no business relationship with Walter and Debbie.

I Agree that Walter and Deb are super nice to deal with, and they do take special requests - you just have to ask.  If you need something that is not a regular stock item, there is a good chance that they will come up with a solution.

Timely post, I was just about to place an order through their ebay store, then I saw those switch stands are only available through their website, so I ordered from there instead. I've got a pile of goodies headed my way now!

I have been talking to them on and off since COVID started. They really are good people and I'm glad that their business has been doing OK during the pandemic. They were initially worried that they would have to close permanently, but after a week or two business picked up to pre-viral levels. I'm guessing a lot of people are working on small inexpensive projects while out of work.

Love my fellow Alabamians Walter and Debbie...
Working on building some double semaphore posts to see if Walter can cast a ‘mid-pole’ semaphore head.
Their standard GRS semaphore is great but, with the addition of their signal detail photoetch set, ATSF-style semaphores, with maintenance platforms, can easily be built.

Just got my "haul" in the mail! I don't know what to work on first. I never would have known about those switch stands unless I had seen the original post, so thanks!

Nice! I've been eyeing that radiator shop of theirs for a while now. The spot I envision it going is possibly just a tad too tight of a space and is why I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Their new mail truck is definitely on the must-get list though. ;)
