Please remember to give your first and last name and the city and state where you live in all your e-mails.

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 place your order using our SECURE Shopping Cart site: 
http://wig-wag-trains-cart.com/home

If you MUST send an e-mail inquiry, copy & paste the entire description TEXT ONLY (NO pictures!) from the item you are ordering into your e-mail.
It will save time and reduce confusion in determining what you are inquiring about.
With the quantity of lines we carry it's not possible to memorize all of them.

HELP NEEDED

January 02 - We made special arrangements to be able to receive the e-mail from M-TL and download the Micro-News so we could build the announcements of new January items M-TL while we traveled to the Anaheim show.  When we got to the motel we finally received this e-mail

"From: Xxxx Xxxxxx <xxxx@micro-trains.com>
Subject: January Micro-News Update
To: "undisclosed recipients"
Date: Wednesday, January 2, 2013, 11:45 PM

The January Micro-News will be emailed Thursday morning after we open (7:00AM Pacific Time), and we will begin taking orders at that time. We apologize for any inconvenience these delays have caused and appreciate your patience

Micro-Trains Line Co.
"

We will post the N-Scale announcements on the Shopping Cart site while on the road to Anaheim and that will be followed by the Z-Scale announcements on the Cart Site just a little later.  We will then post them on this site tomorrow evening (of course this assumes no further delays in the announcements).

December 27 - We had hoped to be announcing the new Micro-Trains Z-Scale deliveries for January today.  Alas we were advised that they had technical problems and the January Micro-News would not be going out till Wednesday January 2, 2013.  
December 27 - We intended to stay late today and get posted the New Pre-Order announcements from M-TL in both N & Z scale as well as any possible ones in HOn3 or Nn3.  Unfortunately an e-mail received late today was confirmed by our phone call to M-TL, they will  not announce till next week January 2, 2013.  Please keep watching.
December 27 - We thought we'd get the e-mail with the January Micro-News attached which normally arrives the afternoon before the last business day of the month.  With M-TL closed on 12/31 that would be today.  Apparently some sort of delay is making it impossible for them to announce January deliveries and new Runner packs for the new year.  We hope that this beginning is not an omen for the rest of 2013.  Anybody know what major events happened in 1913?  Was it a year of major issues?  Is there any truth to the superstition of 13?
December 26 - We have it on very good authority that the first release of the Atlas 4-4-0 steam locomotive announced in April is on the ship and should arrive here about mid January.  Five roadnames/paint schemes are coming.  If you want to run Civil War era trains these are the locos for you.  You already know Atlas paint quality, drive reliability and details are excellent.  We have room for some additional Pre-Orders if you have been dragging your feet.  NOW is the time to order if you are going to want them  If you wait please do not be surprised that they all are sold out in about 5 days after arrival.  WE WILL say "We warned you!".

Please keep in mind we will be closed from December 30th thru January 10th for the Anaheim Show and for George's appointment with the Dr. at USC Medical Center to plan his surgery.

Please submit your Order using our secure ON-LINE shopping cart and receive your order confirmation right awayIt's the best way to place your order!  Save the phone/e-mail processing fee.  If you want to order by e-mail or phone and pay the processing fee you must do so between 12/26 & 12/29, or after we get back from Anaheim/USC Medical and are setup again after the 10th.






December 26 - We also have been advised to expect the next release of the Atlas® Trainman™ 70-Ton Ore Cars to arrive here in mid-January.  These sell out very fast and we always see customers when they wait too long to order.  We'd rather you place an order and end up so that your mine can get it's ore to the mill and the mine owner can get filthy rich. We will keep increasing our orders till we can't get any more sooooo Now is the time to order if you are going to want to haul that copper, lead, zinc, or other heavy metal to get processed.  Don't wait and end up looking for them.

Please keep in mind we will be closed from December 30th thru January 10th for the Anaheim Show and for George's appointment with the Dr. at USC Medical Center to plan his surgery.

December 26 - We understand that Atlas' 52' Evans Gondolas that were announced in November 2010 are on the water and should arrive here about mid January.  Nine roadnames/paint schemes are coming.  If your run coil steel trains these gondolas will be right at home in that service. We have room for some additional Pre-Orders if you have been dragging your feet.  We also have some earlier release cars still in stock.  Now is the time to order if you are going to want them.

Please keep in mind we will be closed from December 30th thru January 10th for the Anaheim Show and for George's appointment with the Dr. at USC Medical Center to plan his surgery.

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.
