HO Picket Fence

Hi!

Just got a roll of HO plastic fence that I never saw before at any of the shows and was wondering if anyone knows anything about its origin.

It came in a plastic box marked Trevose Mfg. Co., Feasterville, PA.

The roll measures out about 16 feet (may be a partial) and the fence, itself, is slightly taller than 1/2"

As always, many thanks.

Traindaddy1,

Out of curiousity, I looked it up and this is what I got:

Your guess, is as good as mine.

Take Care!

I tried a Google search for the company name and nothing even remotely related to model railroads came up. Must be one of those small “cottage industries” or one-man basement operations with no web presence.

Apparently Trevose-Feasterville PA is a pair of adjacent but independent communities (FD and Boy Scout patches.) The local industries seem to be producers of precision metal parts and similar - no mention of model railroads.

It is possible that some spare room or garage workshop produced this. Such an outfit would probably have too little profit to show a presence visible to the local Chamber of Commerce.

(And here I thought that some HO guy had found a use for N scale flex track…)

Still trying to post the FYI photo.
