Imperial Hobby Productions

Imperial Hobby Productions Imperial Hobby Productions is a manufacturer and supplier of hobby and model products for the model railroad and scale ship modeling hobby markets.

Imperial Hobby Productions was founded in 1993 to serve the needs of the niche model ship market. We began producing a small range of 1:700 scale resin ship model kits and parts that year and added model railroad products beginning in 1995. Our product range has grown since then and so has our global audience. IHP's products are known for their attention to detail, high level of production quality

and range of subject matter. Some items in our range were the first of their kind. IHP is currently shifting to mass production using plastic and diecast injection molding for our future products. We will continue to produce high-quality kits for the 1/700 warship modeler and HO scale model trains for the commuter and passenger modeler. We will focus on producing subjects not likely to made by any other mass-market manufacturer or brand.

We've gotten virtually no response to the feelers for the possible O scale kits of Strafford cars, Red Arrow double-end PCCs or Reading PBr-series cars.

Three different subjects and no interest shown from any of you O scalers? What are the odds of that?

We just want to know who is interested. Let's hear from you! If we don't hear anything, nothing will happen.

HO kits shown for reference.

One other thing we might be able to do in O scale are Reading PBt and PBu coaches. They'd be basically the same format and details as our HO kits. If there's interest, let us know.

Now that we have a reliable printer that can do orders quickly for us, we're looking for things for them to do. I'm looking at doing a couple of O scale kits using 3D models we already have.

I've asked this before, but let's get a definitive count. Who would be interested in O scale Strafford cars and/or Red Arrow double-end PCC cars? If it's only two or three people, then it's not viable and won't happen, as we need to place a certain minimum order to get the best price.

They'll be body kits set up to accept Q-Car power trucks and will have the IHP-standard water-clear windows.

Let us know in the comments if you are definitely interested. Please Note that if you try to suggest subjects other than these two, they will be ignored, as we're not creating any more new CAD models. It's these two models only.

If we get enough interest in either, we'll get a price from the printer and start taking preorders. HO kits shown for reference only.

IHP UPDATE 3 SEPTEMBER 2026

1) HO ComArrow orders have all been shipped to those who have paid their shipping invoices. If you have not yet paid yours, please do so right away so we can get your kits to you.

2) Comet 1B Kits are on their way (already!!!) from the printer. It will be some time before we get the windows from the other factory, but hopefully this won't take too long.

3) Waiting for windows and metal parts for the O scale Kawasaki LRV kits.

IHP UPDATE 21 AUGUST 2026

1) HO ComArrow Kits (Cali Version) should be here and ready to ship by the end of this month. Watch for your Paypal shipping invoices in the next couple of weeks.

2) HO Comet 1B Kits (NJ Version): Preorders are closed and the production run is in the works. We're hoping for late October or November delivery.

3) O Scale Single-End Kawasaki LRV kits: Most everything is here except for the windows and metal parts, which hopefully will be here next month.

Restocks of some HO and N items are expected soon.

We're hoping to make at least a couple of new announcements before the end of the year. Watch this space!

Here's a throwback to the mid 2000s that's barely a blip on our time radar now: IHP's first and last 1/1200 scale metal ship kit.

I think the bronze casting masters went for scrap a few years ago. And I love how the description calls the IHP metal ship range a 'respected' one. Just shows you can't trust AI. đŸ˜‚
