- Rivarossi, Italian manufacturer and now part of the Hornby Hobbies family of brands, has produced some of the most iconic locomotives in steam, diesel and electric over the last 50 years.
- Boxcars carry a wide range for crated or palletized freight all around the country, protected from the elements for all types of products and goods as they make the long haul to their destination. Switching from the originally short-lived boxcars made of wood, which degraded and became a fire hazard over time, these 50 foot boxcars are fashioned after the second/third generation of boxcars made from steel frames produced by ACF, American Car and Foundry Company.
- These boxcars ran regularly from 1955-1975 and could be seen being pulled by 1st and 2nd generation diesel locomotives or late steam. These highly detailed and authentically liveried box cars are made using high quality construction materials and come equipped with knuckle couplers and metal road wheels, featuring sliding doors.

The Great Northern pioneered through many of the difficult mountain passes of the Rockies to reach the Pacific Northwest from the mid-west, and up to several Provinces in Canada hauling many types of loads including ore, freight, mail and passenger services.
