WELCOME TO THE

BITTER CREEK MODELS

WEBSITE

YOUR NUMBER ONE SOURCE FOR OLD TIME TURN OF THE CENTURY CARS AND PARTS

1860 - 1910

Bitter Creek Models kits, trucks, and detail parts are made for the enjoyment of HO scale model railroaders in the grand style of the Golden Age of railroading in both HO scale standard and narrow gauge.

30 November 2025 - Welcome to the new Bitter Creek Models website. Finally after a long hiatus the re-modeled/re-mastered freight and passenger car trucks are once more available. I think you will find the crispness and detail of the new trucks to be far and above the the old legacy castings. They no longer come pre-assembled but are engineered in such a way that the truck bolsters key into the sideframes making it easy to assemble them square and straight. They come with Kadee rib back Code 110 wheelsets. For those that wish to use a different wheel, the trucks can be ordered without the Kadee wheels.

In addition several new detail parts have been added to the line as well as some of the old ones having been re-done. A new freight car kit, an 1891-1892 Philadelphia & Reading 34’ boxcar kit has been added to the stock.

In the Rip Track section you will find a large number of pre-owned locomotive models and kits, both collectable brass as well as common plastic or die cast models, many of them new in the box. In addition there is a large selection of old rolling stock kits, out of production structure kits and vehicle kits to grace your railroad empire.

Take a look around and if you see something that interests you and you would like additional information, please contact me.

High ball and happy model railroading.
