Custom Model Railroad Builders

I was surfing the web and your site came up. I was searching for Custom Model Railroad Builders. Your site was dated the year 2003. Do you have a more recent listing for builders of model railroads, if not, when do you plan to update your site?

I believe that list is from Model Railroader, not CTT. In spite of the date, it is probably still fairly current. I'll ask them if they are planning an update.

Satindoll:

I would recommend that you pick up a copy of the current "Model Railroader" and "Classic Toy Trains" magazines. You'll find a good number of ads in those publications for custom builders. Contact several of them to see what they offer and what they might charge. It's helpful if you can provide them with as many specific as possible relating to what you're looking for in terms of space available, size of your proposed layout, scale, type of operations you prefer, etc. The more information you can provide up-front, the more accurate an estimate they can give.
