This line changed hands many times during the thirty or more years that it was available; originally starting as "Texas Railways" which became "Miller's Backyard Railroads", followed by "Bethlehem Pattern Supply", and finally, "Texas Railroad Supplies". It is felt that this line started many enthusiasts in 1-1/2" scale modeling.
