Do you dream of having a railroad but don't know where to start? Do you want to know if a miniature railroad is possible and appropriate for your property?

RMI is widely known for its broad range of locomotives, rolling stock, track, and related railroad material, but did you know we also plan, manufacture, and install complete systems? We can satisfy your requirements from a wide library of standard designs or create custom bridges, track work, turntables, stations, etc. (see photos). We welcome the opportunity to discuss your ideas, architect's plans, or notes on the back of an envelope. We can coordinate with project managers, contractors, or helpful friends and relatives to make your dreams realities!

The Pearlridge Express
(Aiea, HI)

This past holiday season Pearlridge Center, the second-largest shopping center in Hawaii, introduced a new centerpiece: the Pearlridge Express, the only scale-model, fully-functioning locomotive in the state.

Our standard turntables are produced in 12' or 20' lengths. They are sized and stressed for large locomotives, including 15" & 18" gauges. The 20' version is closely modeled after a standard Central Pacific 56' prototype. Everything functions just like the original, including the adjustable truss rods. Construction is of custom milled wood (all redwood is available), with steel reinforcement where appropriate.

RMI loves bridges! Whether you need a simple open deck, a through plate girder, or a complex, curved truss bridge, we can fulfill your requirements.
