History
[edit]ScaleTrains was founded in 2014 by Shane Wilson, and three other experienced model train manufacturers[2]. The founding journey was documented by TrainMasters and compiled into a documentary called ScaleTrains, Big Dreams.[3]
The company made their debut at Trainfest in 2015 where they displayed their very first HO scale models, some of which were delivered to customers at the end of that same year. Their first models include the Union Pacific “Big Blow” locomotive, the“Joe Jordan” and “Jim Adams” water tender set meant to accompany the "Big Blow", and the Trinity 31K Oil Tank.[4]
Museum Quality, Rivet Counter, Operator, and Kit Classics were the first brands offered by the company, each offering different levels of detail. As the company grew they acquired MTH HO ScaleTooling, S-Helpers Service,[5] Fox Valley Models, and ExactRail[6].
