A-Line/Arrow Hobby, a division of Proto Power West, is a diversified hobby products retailer and manufacturing company producing a high quality line of precision HO locomotive power chassis, model vehicles and vehicle detail parts, intermodal containers and cars, and an extensive line of railroad detail parts. 

We have innovated many of the newest concepts in model railroading and continue to do so today. We are also committed to providing the highest level of prototype fidelity to give you, the modeler, the ability to produce true miniature replicas of the latest railroad and trucking equipment.

We have an extensive catalog showing most of our products. Click on the hyperlink to the left to go to the Catalog page. However, we are constantly adding new products to our lines - faster than our catalog can keep up. This web site will allow us to keep you up-to-date on the new releases and provide more details on our products in a timely fashion.

Checkout the site today and check back often. We'll have something new for you on a regular basis.
