Railroad Supply Corporation

History
Railroad Supply Corporation has been serving the Live Steam Hobby since 1970 when the company was founded by Chet Peterson and a number of live-steamers dedicated to the hobby. The first locomotive developed was the Central Pacific No. 173 4-4-0. the locomotive that Walt Disney has called "the most beautifully proportioned locomotive ever built." Walt must have been correct about the CP-173 because it is the most popular of our locomotive kits and has been built by live steamers throughout the world as well as in the United States.
