Tips For the Small Shop Interested in our Authorized Commercial Use Program

Using your leverage and skills as a fabricator/wood worker works to your advantage since you can offer size options and products that large scale commercial fabricators are not equipped for. Most of them only offer generic sizes and styles, while the majority of Model Railway enthusiasts are looking for solutions to fit their unique size and/or area constraints. Our system allows for this customization while still keeping the fabrication process simple and repeatable every time.

We are currently offering two tiers under this program, the Commercial Use License and the Authorized Builder License. In addition to the resources above, you also get the benefit of potential customers directed to your website/business listing by way of our Authorized Licensed Fabricator Directory on our website, and with the Authorized Builder License, full mention of your website/business listing in future marketing pages and posts we create-essentially an add-on marketing plan to direct customers to your site.
