Gino Pranzo was the owner and custom painter behind SRL (Steel Rail Lines).  Unfortunetaly, he passed away in 2004.

I haven't seen any other company going by that name.

The reason I ask was I just won a Kato F3A custom painted by Steel Rail Lines on e-bay. I thought the name sounded familiar and it should have.  I don't know why it didn't occur to me that it was linked to BLW but Pete in memory of Gino still has the page up for his custom painted models. Been a real long time since I last viewed it. Thanks Brian for pointing that out. Now it makes sense why I couldn't find anything on the web about the company.  :o
