We have a number of injection molding machines.  Plastic pellets are placed in the hopper, travel down to the heating unit and then the melted plastic is forced into the engraved mold.

For many of our small parts, we use hand operated machines which were made in the Grandt shop to suit our needs.  The larger molds are placed in the automatic machines,

Research and Development
We use prototype items and blue prints to be certain that our parts are accurate.grandt line products

This is just some of the research that went into one of our kits:  C&S Caboose #1006.  Note the C&S blueprint, Cliff’s measurements, photos and the final result.
