Is Westside Model Company still producing model train products?

No. Westside Model Company ceased all operations and importing in the late 1980s. Original models exist exclusively on the secondary collectors' market.

Are Westside Model Company locomotives shipped factory painted?

Most were imported as unpainted, bare brass models for custom painting. Any rare factory-painted exceptions will be explicitly noted in our product descriptions.

Can vintage brass locomotives be upgraded with modern DCC or sound systems?

Yes. Their spacious brass boilers make them excellent candidates for modern DCC decoders, though upgrading to a high-efficiency can motor is highly recommended.
