Coverage Options

Hobby Locomotive Business Insurance

Every policy a hobby locomotive business needs — in one place, from specialists who know the trade.

Model Train Collection Insurance

Standard homeowners policies cap hobby collectibles at $1,000–$3,000 with no transit coverage and no agreed value. A serious model train collection easily reaches $10,000–$100,000+. Specialty personal articles coverage protects your collection at its true, agreed value.

  • Agreed value (no depreciation)
  • All scales: Z, N, HO, S, O, G, brass
  • Transit to shows and repairs
  • DCC systems and accessories

Live Steam Locomotive Insurance

Live steam locomotives are the pinnacle of the hobby — and the most underinsured. A single 7.5" gauge locomotive can be worth $20,000–$80,000. Add passenger liability, boiler exposure, and transit risk, and you have a coverage need that no homeowners policy can address.

  • Agreed value for locomotive and tender
  • Passenger liability coverage
  • Boiler explosion liability
  • Public event and show liability

Garden Railway Insurance

A garden railway lives outdoors, exposed to weather, theft, and visitor risk that standard home insurance handles poorly. G scale equipment and mature layouts can represent $5,000–$50,000 in value. Specialty coverage protects what homeowners ignores.

  • Locomotives, rolling stock, and track
  • Structures and integrated landscaping
  • Storm, hail, and flood damage
  • Theft from outdoor installation

Model Railroad Club Insurance

Model railroad clubs face significant liability exposure at public exhibitions, open houses, and club operations — and most are underinsured. We place GL, property, and event coverage for formal clubs, NMRA chapters, and garden railway societies.

  • Club general liability (GL)
  • Public exhibition event coverage
  • Club-owned property and equipment
  • Additional insured certificates same-day
Full coverage details

Train Show & Exhibition Insurance

Train show venues require GL coverage that most exhibitors don't have. We place short-term event policies and annual show coverage for individual exhibitors, clubs, and show organizers — with same-day certificate issuance.

  • General liability at exhibitions
  • Exhibit property and transit coverage
  • Setup and teardown period coverage
  • Additional insured certificates same-day
