These HO scale brass locomotives are finely crafted, hand-assembled models designed for collectors who appreciate the artistry of brass. While not based on specific prototypes, each locomotive is decorated in imaginative paint schemes inspired by authentic liveries once used by the same railroads. Utilizing our Santa Fe Blue Goose tooling, these models offer a unique blend of realism and creativity—combining the high-end detailing of brass construction with striking fantasy finishes that stand out on any display shelf or layout.

Our streamlined Hudson pays tribute to Lehigh Valley 4-6-2's that were streamlined for various passenger trains. In the late 1930's and early ’40s L.V streamlined several of its  passenger trains.
