Hunterline is now part of Fast Tracks — and the full line of Hunterline bridge and trestle kits is live and ready to order.

From a simple 30′ King Post truss to a 170′ Howe truss deck bridge, plus framed and pile trestles, timber piers, snowsheds, tunnel liners and snow fence — over 120 kits and drawing sets in scales from N to G.

What's on the site now is the inventory we carried over from Hunterline when they closed their doors. As kits sell out, we'll produce new batches — so if something shows out of stock, sign up for the in-stock reminder on its product page and we'll let you know when it's available to order again.

According to the note on the wall, it was 10 years ago today we began renovations to move Mt. Albert Scale Lumber into the Fast Tracks facilities. Some sure does fly! Almost as much as the sawdust.

Preparing the 2026 Midwood award for the best use of wood in a model for the 2026 National Narrow Gauge Convention! Cut from the same Basswood that we make all the Mt. Albert Scale Lumber from. Will this be your year?

Rick Hunter’s Hunterline will keep going.

A lot of us have a Hunterline bridge or trestle on the layout somewhere. When Rick passed away recently, we weren’t sure those kits would still be available. They will be. Fast Tracks has bought Hunterline.

Rick used Mt. Albert Scale Lumber in his kits. We’ve owned Mt. Albert since 2017, so the wood in those boxes was already coming from us. Adding the kits only made sense.

We’re not changing them. Same detailed drawings, same parts, same instructions and same quality. We’re going through the line, kit by kit, and will start putting them on the Fast Tracks website in September.

The Hunterline weathering stains are not part of the transition. Someone else is looking at buying that line, and we’ll pass on what we hear.

Thanks Rick and Maureen, and thanks to everyone who’s built these over the years. Ask us anything in the comments.

New from Mt. Albert Scale Lumber, Wood Bundles!

Do you remember that scene from the 1970 movie 5 Easy Pieces where Jack Nickolson just wants to order some toast at a diner, but they tell him they don't sell toast? So he orders a Chicken sandwich, on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce, and hold the Chicken. Well, we had a similar experience with a customer last month. He ordered a Lumber Store, then told us to hold the rack, and just send the wood. That got us thinking we should add some pre-selected wood bundles that can be easily ordered to get customers started with Mt. Albert Lumber. So that's just what we've done. These bundles have the same collections of stripwood packages as our popular Lumber Stores, but on their own. If you already have a storage system and want a good selection of the best quality wood possible, check out our new Wood Bundles!

Mt. Albert sponsors an annual award at the NMRA Conventions. The award focuses on the best use of wood (any wood) in a model. This year, the judges chose Scott Lister's entry, and we can see why! It is a great use of our wood and an excellent model. They also awarded him First Place - Scratchbuilt Model, First Place - Structures and The Most Photogenic Model Award. All well deserved. Scott writes...

"I entered this model that took me 21 days to build in the NMRA model contest in Texas, and, ironically, it won the Mt Albert scale lumber award because every piece of wood came from Mt Albert. That said, I'd like to personally thank you for sponsoring that award at the NMRA nationals, and like I tell everyone who asks me where I purchase my wood, I tell them there is only one place to buy scale lumber, and that's My Albert.
Thanks again, Scott Lister"

"And I also built one similar to it that I won Best of Show last month at the S-scale convention in Harrisburg PA, with your wood and Lionel told me I should enter it into the national NMRA so I decided to build this one"

We are thrilled to be a part of your work Scott! Thanks for sending along the images. If anyone is interested in following Scott's work, here is a link to his page...
