Our latest newly-tooled model is the Pennsylvania class X58 boxcar - the first ready-to-run model of this popular prototype in any scale! Our model features three distinct body variations and other detail variations so that any version of the prototype from any era can be represented on the model. The list of initial X58 releases is featured in our Products section. The first run is sold out at ESM, but the model remains available at your favorite hobby dealer! Watch for the announcement of our next release in the coming months!

The introduction of our White Tower Restaurant has been very positive! This model is built via rapid-prototype technology and features intricate detailing including a fully-rendered interior! three variations - a stand-alone building with a footprint of 1½ x ¾ inches; the “right-hand” integrated version designed to fit inside the front-right corner of a larger structure; and the new “left-hand” integrated version designed to fit inside the front-left corner of a larger structure! These models will be made in batches toward the end of the month based on pre-orders. Invoices will be sent once the buildings are ready to ship! Extra buildings from a made-to-order batch will be available for purchase as a stock item. Pre-orders are now being accepted for the May batch.

A small camera icon next to the ESM stock number indicates a larger photo has been added. Eventually there will be a photo of every release that has been offered to date, so that all variations are documented. Click on the camera icon to view.

Our website features photographs of every ESM product released from our first offering in 1987 forward, as well as a description and brief history of each item including reporting marks, date of last service, date of the reference photograph if known, release date of the model, list price and availability. We update our site regularly as new products are introduced and current products are discontinued.

Subsequent releases of an item will have various printing detail differences than previous releases, making them unique in more than just having a different set of reporting marks. When the release of an item differs from the general photograph on an item page, a camera icon will be present to allow viewing of the specific item release.

Our products are grouped by the categories in the menu above. Hover the mouse pointer over the Products option to see a dropdown menu of the available product lines, and click on the product line desired. The general page of the Product Line will appear. Hover over the Product Line link to see a dropdown menu of the items in that product line. Our Specialty Items product lines are arranged in similar fashion, and contain our non-prototypical commemorative releases as well as our high-end Sovereign Modeler Series™ line of products.
