Rolling Stock: box cars kits (stopped)
Scenery: They are the North American retailer for Modelu 3D-printed figures, and can special-order any S-scale figures
Notes
The company is the North American dealer for Modelu figures. Owner Pierre Oliver indicated that he can order any of the Modelu figures in S-scale, but he does not stock them, so there may be some delay in shipping.
History
The company released a number of S-scale box car kits that were based on the Pacific Rail Shops' bodies. Unfortunately, this had to be stopped, because Des Plaines Hobbies owns the PRS rights, and so copies cannot be sold legally. Yarmouth's owner, at the time of their release, was unaware that there was still a copyright claim in effect. The few kits that were sold received glowing reviews.
