Welcome to Port Lines Hobby Supplies

03/28/25: Please note that I will not be taking phone orders until Tuesday, April 8th, as I have my second round of minor surgery (not serious) on April 1  (no....not a joke! ).

You may continue to place online website orders, and I will be filling and mailing orders, as I am able, during this time....but not taking phone calls.

SUSPENDING PAINT SHIPMENTS:  Until further notice, please do NOT order any of the $27.95 aerosol "American Flyer" high-quality paints. I still have many of them, but I am out of the NOZZLES for these cans, and I'm having difficulty locating the correct ones.  I will be shipping NONE of these until I can locate and obtain nozzles.  All other listed paints are fine, and readily available.

EBAY SALES:  After many years of inactivity, I have begun to post nightly liquidation sales on EBAY.

Each evening I am posting ONE specific item on EBAY auction.

These will include AF, SHS, Am Models, and other products.

You can SEARCH "portlines" as my Seller ID to see what's active at any time.

***** FLASH SALE #13***** will be posted on Sunday, April 6th.
