Texas Railway Supply Inc

History
From Large-scale Model Railroading, p 6


 * Cliff Pettis of Texas introduced a low cost line of car and locomotive parts, all in 1-1/2" scale. This line changed hands many times during the thirty or more years that it was available;  originally starting as "Texas Railways" which became "Miller's Backyard Railroads", followed by "Bethlehem Pattern Supply", and finally, "Texas Railway Supply Inc".  It is felt that this line started many enthusiasts in 1-1/2" scale modeling.
