We build beautiful trains. My name is Todd Swan, and I am the owner of the Swannee River Railroad Company. I am asked frequently how I got into building trains. It all started from a dream I had when I was just a kid…to have my very own park train! You may be wondering about how we do this work. Well, it’s actually a complicated process. However, with a lot of help of friends and colleagues in the railroad industry, I have developed prints and other designs that I created to build these wonderful trains.

Most of the time consuming hard work is completed by subcontractors. These “subs” have the RIGHT equipment to do the job! They only use “state of the art” CnC controlled equipment to build the various components of the locomotives and passenger coaches. I have found this is the best way. The contractors I use work with me to produce the parts needed to build your train. These parts are manufactured and then assembled like a huge model kit by myself insuring the quality of construction. Once the components are assembled, the assembled locomotives and passenger cars are delivered to an automotive paint and body shop for final body work and painting. The last thing is applying the vinyl lettering of your choice.
