Welcome

Custom Model Railroads specializes in the design and manufacture of model train layouts, custom built structures and building kits.

We have been in business since 1991, building private, corporate and museum train layouts as well as custom models and building structures. We also manufacture building kits that you can buy and assemble yourself.

The custom layout portion of this site lets you explore the process of how we design and build a layout for you. There are numerous samples of our work for your review in our galleries.

The building kits portion of this web site features our various kits in HO and N scale as well as the process of having one-of-a-kind structures built.
