Freelance's company Locomotive

The term freelance, in the aerial, railway, naval, or bus model building, indicates a company which does not base its products on existing livery. Freelance models are sometimes frowned upon in the model building community, although the adopted material is in reduced scale, they are not models of existing items, but are designed by the model builder.

Due to the lower cost (no licensing fees etc.), this type of model is quite popular in the United States. In Europe, it has yet to catch on, although there are a few companies with freelance model lines.
