Quality and customer satisfaction is always first!

Precision Scale Company, Inc. (PSC) is one of the largest manufacturers of scale model railroading brass and plastic super-detailing parts in the world. Our extensive line of N, HO/HOn3, S/Sn3, O/On3/On2, 3/8", Gauge One, and 1/2" LGB parts now number in excess of 17,000 different items and continues to grow. Most of our parts have been developed within the 35+ years that PSC has been in business. Our parts are illustrated in our full line of catalogs http://psc1.virtualfocus.com/catalogs.htmls and over time we'll be adding them to this website.
PSC also imports high-quality, ready-to-run (RTR) brass models, which we've done now for over three decades. Our models are precisely handcrafted to prototype by our quality overseas partners, following PSC's stringent research and development specifications. Our manufacturing facility enables us to produce the highest quality original castings for our brass RTR models--no shrink casting and no copy castings! Over the years PSC has been known for new and innovative designs and developments for brass models, and we continue this effort today. Our ongoing goal is to produce excellent prototypical, smooth-running, super-detailed models.
Mountain Model Imports was started in 2003 as a way for Precision Scale Company to introduce models of brass quality but at a much more affordable price. MMI does this by using a combination of die-cast construction along with brass detail parts, which simplifies the manufacturing process and results in lower costs.
Each MMI model is built to PSC's exacting standards and is designed to run as good as it looks. Specifics vary, but all are DC and DCC ready and are designed to utilize modern sound, lighting, and operational control. There is no plastic on MMI models; these are true die-cast models and should not be confused with "die-cast" models consisting of a plastic body on a die-cast chassis. As an example, MMI's first model--an On3/On30 K-27--weighs over 6 pounds yet operates gracefully on as little as 2 volts DC.
We support our extensive dealer network and ask that you work directly with them for your RTR brass model needs. (If you have trouble contacting a PSC dealer, please let us know.) We do accept direct orders for our catalogs, detail parts, and kits. Our minimum order is $30.00 plus $7.00 S&H in the USA. (International customers, please inquire.) Due to our extensive line of products, most part orders require a two-week manufacturing process. Therefore, please allow three weeks for delivery of your order.


Thank you for your interest in PSC and we look forward to supplying you with all your modeling needs!

Siestaman--- May I suggest that you fabricate the steps yourself? I make things like that out of flattened copper wire. I have a spool of copper wire . When I want to make detail parts I unroll some wire and give it a couple of whacks with a hammer on the anvil end of my vise and -- VIOLA!!-- I have flat stock to bend into shape. I believe the real railroads blacksmithed parts like this too. Don't forget this is O gauge and the mark of a good O gauger is how many hammers he wears out in the course of a year. Odd-d
