BLUFORD SHOPS is a relatively new supplier of N-Scale rolling stock models. It was started by two industry professionals who previously worked for a major manufacturer.  The name Bluford Shops comes from Bluford Yard on Illinois Central's Edgewood Cutoff portion of the Chicago-New Orleans mainline.
