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.

- RRSC is still operating. It's just my dad (Mike). He spends many hours in the shop machining. I offered to help him out when I can. I'm still working on our new catalog which will have our rolling stock and diesel detail parts. I am in the process of making all new pattern boards for the Heavy Mikado. If you need to get in touch with Mike best time to get him is in the evening and on weekends. If you still have no luck feel free to e mail me (Stephen) at rrsclivesteam@yahoo.com . I'll do my best to help you out. I work for a railroad as a train dispatcher so I have to check my emails through-out my shift.
