Arnold Jonas Large Scale Collection on Consignment

Significant pieces of Arnold Jonas’ train and modeling collection are still available at Central Coast Trains in Atascadero, CA including a rare Accucraft live steam “Mimi” and several LGB locomotives, cars and collectible sets. Perhaps most unique is the inventory and original molds from Arnold’s Big Train Backshop – “a small business run by an avid modeler.” These quality figures, details and kits are truly works of art to be appreciated by the model railroaders Arnold served. Please contact Anita Walter at Central Coast Trains for more details.
