There is only one known product catalog produced for the Pemco Railway
System line of model trains. The catalog carries no date, but is considered to be early '80s. My copy includes
a photocopied Pemco price list with the New York mail-order company TrainWorld's name and address.
The catalog is 8-pages full-color and displays Pemco's locomotives,
freight cars, and accessories. For a ready-to-run line, there are oddly no train sets found in this catalog. I
have only found one Pemco train set to date, review the train sets page for further information.
The only Pemco items I've seen that are not included in this catalog
are the 50ft. Double-Plug Box Car, the 60ft. Double-Plug Box Car and a couple different versions of the
50ft. Flat Car. The Pemco catalog lists only two 50ft. Flat Cars and calls for both to include a Container. The
other 50ft. Flats I've seen include a Bridge Girder Load and a Piggyback.
It should be noted that a number of the models appearing the Pemco
catalog do not match the production-run models. This is very typical and happens quite frequently in model trains.
Examples include the F40PH pictured in the catalog carries a reversed "BN" logo, while production examples I've viewed never
have this flaw. The "Santa Fe" 2-6-0 Mogul steam engine is pictured in the catalog in a light green paint scheme and
carries a different number, than the black "Santa Fe" 2-6-0s that I have seen. The model used in the catalog to display
the Caboose is a yellow shell with red "BN" markings carrying the number "9790," while examples I've seen are green with a
black roof and are numbered "151." It's not to say that both may exist, but again I would caution anyone that took the
catalog images to strictly represent the actual models sold by Pemco.
