HERITAGE PROJECTS
Saving the Legacy of RVR Trains
We’re developing next-generation Proto-standard parts — made for those who care about authenticity.
Our current heritage project focuses on saving and documenting the last RVR-built trains — once icons of the Soviet and post-Soviet era. Political and economic shifts have pushed them toward extinction, but through modeling, documentation, and restoration efforts, we aim to keep their story alive.

MESSAGE / FAITH
Our Inspiration
The concept of modeling is far from recent phenomenon. Building according to plans and instructions can be found going far into the history. Exodus 25:9 “According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.”
Exodus 20:12 “Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
” We believe this extends to the heritage made by ancestors to honor their memories. This inspired us to start Save RVR trains project.
Given how short the time runs before virtually all remaining RVR trains are scrapped we never lose hope. Luke 18:27 “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
Exodus 20:12 “Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Given how short the time runs before virtually all remaining RVR trains are scrapped we never lose hope. Luke 18:27 “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
We believe craftsmanship and faith go hand in hand — both built on patience, precision, and hope. Every model we create reflects our belief in restoration, both mechanical and spiritual.
