Company

Rocket Express was formed after its founder, Ron Von Werder, discovered that not enough Rock Island Freight Car Kits were readily available in the market to satisfy modelers desires to properly model the Rock Isalnd Railroad. To remedy this situation, I started experimenting casting freight car parts.
The desire of Rocket Express is to produce prototypically correct freight car kits that are as customer friendly in the assembled process as can be.

Rocket Express will be at the Sunshine Prototype Modelers Seminars at Naperville, Ill from 10/26-10/28.

Latest Release is a Baggage Door Caboose Kit which will sell for $50.00.
