New plastic division of Overland Models, Inc

A new line of model train products has hit the rails. Tower 55 –
the new plastic division of Overland Models, Inc. – launches its line with an
initial offering that features top rail names including Union Pacific, GE Evolution,
BNSF Railway and Electro-Motive Diesels.

“We’re very pleased to introduce the Tower 55 division,” said Brian Marsh, president
of Overland Models, Inc., and Tower 55. “We surveyed our customers a year or so
ago and many expressed a desire for models with our traditional accuracy and
detail, but in materials that made the models more affordable. Tower 55 maintains
our dedication to quality and opens up opportunities for more rail fans to own
and enjoy an authentic bit of rail history.”

Tower 55 products are designed based on extensive research, on-site inspection,
and the expertise of the company’s team of knowledgeable rail enthusiasts.
These durable injection-molded HO scale models are precisely rendered with
attention to accuracy and authenticity. All models come equipped with the
company’s patented DC/DCC technology developed with Digitrax, making them
ready to enjoy with no additional configuration, regardless of layout type.
The models are handcrafted by respected manufacturers known for their precision,
and each model is factory finished and fully detailed including factory paint, pad
printed lettering, lights and ditch lights where applicable.

“ In addition to our dedication to accuracy and detailing,” said Marsh, “our longstanding
relationships with North America’s top rail names sets Tower 55 apart.
We’re able to bring our customers the reproductions they’re looking for sooner,
and our ability to go on-site in the design phase means our accuracy is unsurpassed.”

Watch for the exciting Tower 55 Web site, http://www.tower55products.com, coming June 2005!
