We continue to expand our offering of S-scale products with the introduction of a wider roadbed suitable for use with AF and GarGraves track. This roadbed is 1/4" wider than the fine-scale roadbed we introduced earlier this year.

Price Change - Not Increase! Plus other web-store changes for August...

We just completed a refactoring of our detail part packs to simplify both online and train show sales. All of our detail parts are now packaged with a quantity based on a $5/7/9 per package price for HO, S, and O scales. This means that there are now more parts per pack! In many cases, this actually resulted in a small price drop. We are committed to providing quality parts and remaining "Budget Friendly" while also preserving our team's sanity. 😁

We're slowly expanding the listing of G-scale parts, which are produced in a UV/Water-Resistant material, making them suitable for outdoor use. If you need any of our parts in G-Scale, drop us a line and we'll produce them on-demand.

Another change is separating our structure kits and add-ons from the detail sets, making them easier to find in our web store (store.rrcraftsman.com). We have a couple new items set for release in August, including a "high-detail" kit for the Walthers concrete grain elevator consisting of pre-colored windows, improved dust cyclones, and an elevator leg & platform for feeding the elevator bins. New tools include an improved wheel painting mask that protects the needle bearings, a corner clamp kit that fit many small modeling clamps, and custom station name plates starting at $1 and as low as $0.60 each in quantities of 20+.

Just a quick update - we will soon have two versions of S-scale cork roadbed available. "Fine Scale" with a 1.75" top surface width / 2.25 total width with bevels, and "Classic" with a 2" top surface width / 2.5" total width for use with American Flyer and GarGraves track.

Previously, only the fine scale roadbed was available. The classic series should be available by mid-August. Thanks to the classic A-F modelers for pointing out our omission! 🥹

When we manufacture roadbed, we have excess material that can't be turned into "first quality" product. We now have a limited supply of these "Odds and Ends" that can provide a budget-friendly solution, saving 33 to 45% or more off of MSRP. These products are only available through our web store. Our resellers only carry first-quality products!

Non-Bevel strips in HO (3/4" wide strips) and O (1" wide strips) scale are perfect for roadbed in staging yards, tunnels, and other hidden tracks. These curve just like regular strips. Why pay for bevels if they aren't seen? These are the full width of the ties without the ballast profile and can be used on visible tracks by adding the profile with a bead of caulk - just like our rolled roadbed. Bundles of 10 strips provide 15-feet of roadbed.

Non-Bevel WIDE strips in HO (1.75" wide) for straight track where bevels are not needed - staging or hidden traffic. Limited flexibility due to the wide width. Bundle of 15-feet

Mismatched Bevel Strips - odd pieces that result from half a strip becoming damaged. These odd pieces are mated with other lost souls and given a second chance at usefulness. 100% usable, we just can't sell it as "first quality". May include a piece with up to 0.75" end damage. 15-feet per bundle.

Imperfect-cut rolls exceed our 1/32" tolerance for square cuts but do not exceed 1/8". These create roadbed that has slight "waves" that can accurately represent secondary traffic lines that are not perfectly maintained. 48-foot roll by 5/16 to 3/4" wide provides 24-feet of usable roadbed.

Limited quantities are available - see https://store.rrcraftsman.com/cork-roadbed-6mm-odds-ends for complete details and availability.
