Welcome

Welcome to the Acme Locomotive Works web site. This site has information about both model and real railroads.

Arnold rapido N-Scale Model Trains

     Pages covering the early days of the development of the Arnold Rapido N-Scale model train product line, starting in the early 1960’s.  This line began as very toy-like and developed into a line of high quality trains, laying the foundation for today’s N-Scale.

Rokal TT-Scale Model Trains

     Pages covering the production of Rokal TT-Gauge model trains. Rokal started production in about 1948 and ended production in late 1968.  This was an innovative product line in a model scale that initially had great promise.

Paul Moore H0 Trolley Kits

   Some pages devoted to the late Mr. Paul Moore of Adrian, Michigan. Mr. Moore produced trolley model kits from the early 1940’s until the 1970’s. He worked out of his home, creating these kits with scale model wood or heavy paper, a ruler, a razor blade and a pile of magazines. They are well done kits of unique prototypes.
