Non-USA customers please include the country.

Stock Checks:

Inventory is a fluid commodity.  It changes by the hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson. When we held items for customers’ orders, the order never materialized 80%+ of the time.  We lost out on the orders placed while the item was on hold.  Also we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms pages, we don’t do it anymore.
You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items are available and if possible attempt to locate what we don’t have while you are on the phone.

Please copy & paste the entire description TEXT (no pictures please) from the item you are ordering into your e-mail.
It will save time and reduce possible confusion in determining what you are ordering.
With the quantity of lines we carry it's not possible to memorize all of them.

March 20 - After numerous requests, a few instances of begging on bended knee, some wailing and gnashing of teeth and even the offer of a bribe (that was refused) Athearn has announced a new release of the distinctively Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 "Big-Boy" for delivery in October.  This release includes four new road numbers and a re-release of the one loco that was equipped 'Elephant Ears' a/k/a Smoke Lifters.  Pre Orders close at Wig-Wag on April 19th.

March 20 - Talk about being blind sided!  After originally announcing the Tidy-Track #4550 at one price they were delivered to us with an MSRP $5 higher than we were expecting.  Sorry for any confusion that may have caused.  Unfortunately the difference in our cost is enough to wipe out the markup needed to pay overhead.

Please submit your Order by e-mail in order to be certain it is recorded as correctly as possible. 

March 16 - We have received an offer from a buyer to take all (or almost all) the locos that we have posted on our Sale page.  If you have been waffling on ordering any of them please be advised this is it.  Final Call is now.  They will pack and ship out on Monday if you don't place a complete e-mail order before Sunday at 5:00pm MDT.

March 16 - Modeler News

We have been informed by one of our manufacturers about how important the advanced reservation system is for production. There continues to be a resistance to advance reservations (pre-orders) in the industry, it has become obvious that in order for customers to receive an item they must pre-order. Manufacturers are producing less for shelf stock than ever before due to the wide varieties available to them. The manufacturers and dealers are all trying to provide the modeling community with the products they want in the most easiest and best method possible. Please keep in mind that if you want an item we advise that you pre-order it, because there is no guarantee that it will be available later on.

March 16 - Unfortunately the N-Scale Baltimore & Ohio March weathered car is sold out. We were shorted on our order and will be filling orders by date.

A Note on Stock Status:
Not all items can be in stock at all times. Due to minimum order requirements from manufacturers and distributors and shipping charges, we "bunch" up re-orders to save you money. Sometimes it takes longer, but we can continue to offer the item at a substantial discount that way.

Confused about Reservations?
Please consider that this is the way we pay the bills and put food on the table. Taking pre-orders allows us to order enough to cover known demand. We attempt to gauge (ok, guess) how many will be ordered after the order deadline plus allow us to have the item in stock for 45-60 days after shipment by the manufacturer.
Sometimes we get it right and sometimes we don't. Occasionally, when an item is not likely to be produced again (D&RGW H-15-44s for example) we order beyond our guess to have a few for longer than that.
