Get the RMT Catalog?
Posted by cnw1995 on Thursday, November 9, 2006 12:08 PM

I'm amazed to receive the new, inaugural RMT 'catalog' in today's mail (this from a fellow who's requested / ordered such literature from the biggies with nary a response).

Anyway, good for Walter - I requested this via email prior to York and here we are scant weeks later with it in my hand. I swear it looks mimeographed - but 22 pages of bliss and there's a flyer offering a few Beeps at a discount. Hope you got one too.

It looks like most of the stuff is sort of for fun (not prototypical) but the "buddy cars" are more prototypical aren't they?

RMT uses old tooling and upgrades it to make the beep and buddy and the caboose. Where the Beef came from I do not know.

 

I have 2 Beeps and plan on ordering a third as well as a buddy and a beef w/peeps all in B&O

on the heels of Doug's post, I went to the mailbox and got mine as well.

I like the products, but jeez - what the heck kind of "catalog" is that?

Definitely not the most elaborate catalog, but I welcomed it nevertheless and it was a good first effort.

I'm a big fan of the RMT toy train products, and have a ton of them.  Waiting now for the BEEFs and passenger sets to arrive, since I have the B&O version on order.  I was really hoping they would arrive this month, since I planned to make them a featured item on my Christmas layout, but will just have to try to exercise some patience, I guess.

If counting rivets is your thing, RMT is probably not for you.  But if you have a small layout and/or like small, well-built, and affordable toy trains, RMT is a great choice.

Will they get along fine with postwar????? 

 

I am on the edge of going conventional all they way......only have one tmcc locomotive and it is lionel/flyer everything else is conventional I guess RMT williams and POSTWAR are my best bets for rollingstock. I blame it on Frank and his influence and my lucky find at the thrift shop of a pair of texas special aa desiels.

He invited inquiries for the catalog via email on the OGR forum right around York. You may get one as a current / former customer but I emailed and requested one.

HHHhhmmm

I've been researching the Pullman company, and ran across this...

Coincidence?
