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.

Subject: NMRA Show News, Shipping Updates and Summer Sale

Greetings everyone,

Show News

We are just returning from the NMRA show this past weekend in MI and wanted to give a few updates. First, the show was good! Nice attendance and a good amount of interest in the hobby overall. All three days had a steady flow of people in the hall and people were smiling and positive. At the FVM booth, we had painted samples of the first 8 NS Heritage GEVOs which just about everyone commented on. Other items on display were painted cars for the forthcoming N & HO Wagontops, N Milw 50' Boxcar and the HO SOO 7 Post boxcars. Lastly, on Thurs. we received the first plastic shots of the N Scale GP60M and B locomotives - a few photos are attached. These are looking good and we are expecting the remainder of the parts over the next few weeks.

Shipping News

Well, my crystal ball has proven it knows almost as much as the weatherman. While I expected to have product in hand by the time the summer shows ended, I'm still waiting. However, with shipping documents now in hand, I am happy to tell you that the next shipment will hit the US in approximately 15 days and should be to us around Sept 1. Excluding any major delays from the West Coast to us, we expect to ship the following:

Week of Sep 3

N & HO B&O Wagontop - Early Kuhler Scheme
N
& HO B&O Wagontop - Cap Dome Billboard Scheme
N Milw 50' Box - Milw Hiawatha Scheme
N Milw 50' Box - Milw Logo Scheme

Week of Sep 24

N & HO B&O Wagontop - 13 Great States Post War
N
& HO B&O Wagontop - C-16 Express Blue
N Milw 50' Box - Milw Yellow Band

The HO SOO 7 Post Boxcars are being completed and expected to be on the water by the end of the month. Their schedule is expected to be:

Week of Oct 15

HO SOO BCR
HO Wisconsin Central
HO Burlington Northern
HO Montana Rail Link

Week of Oct 29

HO Soo White
HO Great Northern - Blue
HO BNSF

The above items are the best info I have to date. There are still several other runs that need to be completed including numerous N GEVO's, N FMC 5347 and FMC 5283 cars and HO Hiawatha's & N Hiawatha's. Each are getting a turn at the factory, but it is too far out to assign firm dates yet. While things are indeed slow - they are moving forward and I am happy to see the progress. As I get better info - I will keep you posted with what I have. Coinciding with these runs are the Heritage GEVOs and the N GP60 development. At this point, I do expect the first of the Heritage GEVOs to ship late this fall. With the arrival of GP60 M & B plastic, I expect the remainder of the parts to be done over the next few weeks. Shortly after that, decoration samples should show up. As long as everything looks good on those fronts, I expect them to be in production through Oct and it is my best hope to have them here before the end of the year. As mentioned above - when I get better updates - I will certainly relay them."

August 04 - In case you haven't figured it out yet, the url (website) for our new Shopping Cart Website is: www.http://wig-wag-trains-cart.com.  Debra has loaded 9800+ items (faster than we can report what she has added) so far with about that many more to go.   Many older items are moving quickly as a result.  We receive over 3,000,000 hits on this site each month (only a very, very small fraction of those hits result in actual orders) and when the new site receives more unique visits than this one we will phase this site out.  NOTE: the confirmation e-mail from the new site comes from a "dummy" account. All e-mail must be sent to wigwag@swcp.com. Several customers including a nuclear physicist have indicated that they cannot get the new site to complete checkout.  All have failed to click on the shopping cart at the upper right hand corner of any page after clicking on the "Add to Cart" button.

August 03 - Due to an A/C failure that had to be repaired or we would have had to spend the night in a motel, we were unable to complete posting all the new Atlas items on the Shopping Cart Site last night.  They are posted now and all the customers who sent inquiries why they could not locate the new Dash 8-32's or the Dash 8-40's in the various versions they can now be ordered online.  Even with the repairs it was well after 0400hrs before the house was comfortable for sleeping.  We've been having a very unusual summer with many days well above 90. 
We apologize for the delay, but >>>>>>>>>>

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.
