Nothing Fake Here
Hunterline to be added to the Fast Tracks line
Rick Hunter’s Hunterline will keep going.
A lot of us have a Hunterline bridge or trestle on the layout somewhere. When Rick passed away recently, we weren’t sure those kits would still be available. They will be. Fast Tracks has bought Hunterline.
Rick used Mt. Albert Scale Lumber in his kits. We’ve owned Mt. Albert since 2017, so the wood in those boxes was already coming from us. Adding the kits only made sense.
We’re not changing them. Same detailed drawings, same parts, same instructions and same quality. We’re going through the line, kit by kit, and will start putting them on the Fast Tracks website in September.
The Hunterline weathering stains are not part of the transition. Someone else is looking to buy that line, and we’ll pass along what we hear.
Thanks Rick and Maureen, and thanks to everyone who’s built these over the years. Ask us anything in the comments.
