We're thrilled to announce that we've entered a collaboration with our friend Mike McCarville and his dynamic McCarville Studios line of kits--in my opinion, the most-exciting newer player in the craftsman kit space in the last 5 years. The quality of Mike's kits and the speed with which he develops and brings them to market are incredibly impressive.
During a conversation at the National Narrow Gauge Convention in Denver over the. summer, we realized collaboration could help both of us. McCarville Studios will hold exclusive rights to produce and sell several kits from the Crystal River line in HO scale:
The Vance Junction Coal Pocket
The full stockyard
The stock chute
We'll continue to offer these kits in S and O scale. In return, we'll have the privilege of producing and selling several kits from the McCarville Studios line in O scale under our banner (Mike will continue to sell these in HO and S):
Placerville station restrooms
Placerville schoolhouse
Dolores and Telluride station restrooms
Speeder shed
Bunkhouse
We couldn't be more pleased to work with a collaborator like Mike. We think the outcome of our partnership will be better access to great kits in the scales we support best.
We'll get the new kits added to our website shortly.
