Whether you are making a decision to buy or sell trains or simply want to learn more about the trains and the company that manufactured them, you demand certain qualities from the research and reference guides you consult. Accuracy, Completeness, Objectivity and Freshness are what distinguish the works published by Project Roar Publishing.
Accuracy
Project Roar Publishing has become the authoritative source of historical information on model electric trains.

Accuracy is ensured through the use of rare original documents and the experts who base their writings on their study of these internal records.

Descriptions and listings are based on actual manufacturer documents as well as the careful observations of leading toy train historians. These documents provide the undeniable facts of what the manufacturer produced and marketed.

Freshness
Project Roar’s publications start with a clean slate. Our research begins with manufacturer documents and samples of the actual item(s) we’re writing about.
