FH&PB Railroad Supply

As of 15 September 2005, FH&PB Railroad Supply has ceased production of kits. After six years of making conversion kits for Accucraft and Bachmann locomotives and rolling stock kits, I have made the difficult decision to end the business. This is due to the confluence of several personal issues that have made it increasingly difficult to give my customers the service and products they deserve in a timely manner.

I want to thank all the wonderful customers who have bought kits from me. I have had nothing but good experiences with them and count them among the finest people in the world.

The products with links and prices are still available in small numbers, subject to prior sale.
