Aristo-Craft announces RMT ("Ready Made Trains") cabooses for O-27/O gauge. These cabooses offer diecast trucks with air hose detail, operating couplers with the new hidden uncoupler tab, metal ladder, lighted rear marker lights, and come with a separate standing BEEPeople conductor figure. The painting is exceptional and each caboose is loaded with 'extra' lettering details such as prototypical road number, inspection date, assigned service point, etc., as applicable, and a detailed railroad logo that is normally found only on a product listing at a much higher pricing point.

Each caboose if fully painted in accurate railroad colors; not just an injection colored body and lettering is pad printed for durability; not a decal or stick-on. A clear plastic insert packaging allows you to take the caboose out of the box but protects the caboose from damage while on display. RMT by ARISTO CRAFT will be featured in O GAUGE RAILROADING, CLASSIC TOY TRAINS, MODEL RAILROAD NEWS and in other hobbyist publications, websites and club newsletters. RMT by ARISTO CRAFT is compatible with all major O-27/O Gauge brands, so they make great affordable additions to your 3-rail layouts or rolling stock collection.

All 24 cabooses are now available. They retail for $59.95, and are in limited supply, so be sure to order yours now.

March 22, 2011

READY MADE TRAINS, LLC introduces a set of two depressed-center flatcars. Using tooling originally made by MARX in the 1950's and then by K-LINE in 1999, these 0-27 depressed center flatcars have been upgraded and are now being made as an RMT by ARISTO-CRAFT product. While these cars may be called 0-27, be assured that they will look terrific on b th 0-27 or 0-gauge train layouts. Not just a 'toy' train car, RMT freight cars are realistic models that are fully painted and lettered in prototypically-inspired paint schemes and NOT just injection-colored plastic with stick-on lettering or decals that were the level of 0-27 products 50 years ago. 24 different roadnames will be offered, each roadNAME with 2 different roadNUMBERS. The military versions will have a missile load. The railroad versions will each have a large tank/cylinder load in 2 different load colors. Upgraded by RMT, each depressed flatcar features diecast trucks with airhose detail, a 'Little Wally' BEEPeople® brakeman figure and the exceptional painting that sets RMT apart from other 0-27 gauge trains.
