Welcome to the MDM LOCOMOTIVE WORKS home page. We supply 1 1/2" scale, electric powered, diesel locomotive models, power trucks, and accessories for the large scale backyard railroad hobby, AKA the live steam  hobby. We primarily model locomotives built by the Electromotive Division of General Motors Corp. though many of our parts and accessories may be used to model diesel locomotives built by other manufacturers. Our models are built to the scale of  1.6"  to the foot and to a track gage of either 7 1/4" or 7 1/2".

Our product line includes - individual parts, complete kits of materials including drawings and instructions, machined kits for those builders with out a machine shop, semi-finished units with all major construction complete. Our products are not the least expensive, but they are the most thoroughly detailed and highest quality locomotives available. As you examine our web site, note how the close-up photos show the realistic details on each of our locomotives.

If you are new to this hobby, please see our general large scale information page and use the links page to find out about live steam clubs, related publications, and other hobby suppliers.

We have added  PDF files in case you would like a printed catalog and or price list. Web site will still have most current prices.

1   roof top bell kit

We have added detail parts for GP 7 and GP 9 locomotives, sand hatch castings 1 3/4 square X 1/2" tall and headlight sets for same locomotives. See price list. Also we now have "F" sand hatch castings available as separate detail parts.

Also due to a customers request we now have stamped battens 1/2" wide with alternating rivet punches along each edge. He wanted for his tank car model, how can you use?.
