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.

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.

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 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.

December 13 - Con-Cor has delivered their 2012 Christmas car which features "Prancer" the third in the classic Christmas Poem "The Night Before Christmas" When they get to the seventh reindeer we hope they will spell his name correctly. Most common 20th & 21st century readings of this holiday classic pronounce & spell the name Donder wrong. We have a VERY limited number of these cars and they typically go very quickly. We were able to locate a few older reindeer cars from a dealer that closed. Please order NOW if you want to receive this car. Keep in mind we will be closed from December 23rd thru December 25th for the Christmas Holiday and 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.
