Welcome to Cooper & Oshtemo Loco Works

The C.O.L.W. began as a custom painting service in 1983, after our local custom painter retired I saw a need for such a service. The fact that many of our customers were unable to paint or just didn't have the time was the prime factor. Our goal is to offer to Modeler's a good looking product which they will be delighted in owning and running on their layouts.

Effective October of 2008 a new owner of the Copper and Oshtemo Locomotive Works name has taken up the torch to continue on what I stated so many years hence. I thank you for the business you sent my way, and ask you to grant Russel Dove your consideration in his entering the business endeavor of custom painting.

Cooper & Oshtemo Locomotive Works offers custom painted H.O. Model railroad cars and engines in a completed and ready to run form. Each car is lettered, multi-numbered, with added brake wheel, painted, clear coated, making the car look as if it just rolled out a factory door.

In this way the Cooper & Oshtemo Loco Works plans to make your Model Railroad give you hours of good fun!
