Scalecoat Production Update + Back-in-Stock Alerts

A few more Scalecoat colors have been added, and we received our final blue pigment last week!

We’re still waiting on one remaining yellow pigment and a key additive needed for broader production. Once the additive arrives, we’ll be able to move much more aggressively on bringing colors back. Some colors may still have to wait on the remaining yellow pigment.

In the meantime, we’ve added Back-in-Stock Email Alerts to Scalecoat.com. Click “Email me when available” on any sold-out color you want. You’ll be notified when it returns—and those requests will also help us decide which colors to prioritize.

It is time for a heartwarming account..... Division member Mike Slater has been volunteering at the Caboose Museum in Sturtevant, Wisconsin. After discovering a section of an HO scale layout that had been donated to the museum years ago and remained in storage for approximately 15 years with no foreseeable opportunity for setup, Mike Slater took the initiative to gift it to a 14-year-old relative who is an avid enthusiast of the hobby. Recently, they collected the layout sections. On Saturday, Mike was delighted to receive a photograph of one of the sections already assembled, complete with original buildings and a functioning train. This serves as a testament to the importance of supporting the next generation within our hobby.
