Our next newly-tooled model will be the Pennsylvania class X58 boxcar - the first ready-to-run model of this popular prototype in any scale! Our model will feature 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 model will be available in late February.

February also will see the debut of our first venture into structures with the introduction of our White Tower Restaurant! This model is built via rapid-prototype technology and features intricate detailing including a fully-rendered interior! The model will be available in two variations - a stand-alone building with a footprint of 1½ x ¾ inches, and an integrated version that is designed to fit inside the corner of a larger structure such as an office building or a warehouse! These models will be made in batches based on pre-orders. Invoices will be sent once the buildings are ready to ship!

The Sovereign Modeler Series™ high-end product lines are in the Specialty Items section of the pulldown menu above. This series features hand-crafted products by some of the most accomplished modelers in the hobby. These exquisitely crafted premium items are available online only and in very limited quantity.

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.
