The Mesa Models bricks-and-mortar store was developed after it became apparent that to have a business relationship with the large wholesale distributors and manufacturers, it was mandatory to have a physical store, not just a mail-order business.

Mesa Models evolved out of the old Ebay store, Mesa Toys. While that earlier endeavor was primarily involved with diecast vehicles and construction equipment, Mesa Models has become focused primarily on model railroad building kits and accessories for the model railroader. Starting with a small retail presence, Mesa Models has grown and expanded both its physical presence and online scope.

The emphasis of our store has been on those difficult to find building kits, whether they be plastic, resin, hydrocal or wood, and level of difficulty extending from straight-forward and simple to larger and more complex craftsman kits. We also offer a range of built-up (assembled) buildings covering a wide range of styles and types.

Along with the aforementioned building kits, we have assembled an extensive collection of detail and accessory items for the model railroader's layout. What layout is complete without the little things that make up a realistic railroad scene--and it is the 'little things', as the saying goes, that make the difference.

Currently, our product offerrings include O and HO scales with the addition of N Scale items in the forseeable future.

Recently, we have started to expanded our inventory beyond the 'trains only' concept to include plastic models in a variety of scales and subjects. These kits are just being added now and can be seen in our  Ebay store under the Plastic Kits heading with apprpriate sub-headings. 

All train and related products in our store are new and unused. We stand behind these products with a full and complete return policy and make every effort to have completely satisfied cutomers. We typically ship within 24-36 hours of receiving a paid order.
