Please submit your Order using our secure ON-LINE shopping cart and receive your order confirmation right awayIt's the <>low cost way to place your order!  If you want to order by e-mail or phone and pay the $15 processing fee you may do so.   FYI: Shopping Cart orders are processed first each day.

Special Announcements Above

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.

Today he had 8" of snow fall between 1:30pm & 4:00pm.  It had already snowed for 11 hours.  His vehicle did not have the weight to pull out of a dip in the road at the campground and it is there still until the snow melts.  It's a 4.5 mile hike back to work on Monday.  Luckily he only had to trudge through about 100 yards of fresh snow to get to the trailer

Winter in a trailer has already been a very CHILLING experience in the San Luis Valley of Colorado, one of the coldest places in the continental USA every winter night.  This has actually been a warm winter and it has seen frozen sewer lines and frozen water lines inside the trailer

Please Note:  George is running far behind on getting the new announcements posted.  Please go to the shopping cart site to get all the current announcements.  http://wig-wag-trains-cart.com/shop Debra is current with announcements.

You will continue to see new announcements below in the date series when they were announced but with challenges both on the railroad where he works and with the weather he has had to make numerous trips back and forth to suppliers.

Additionally with the murder of his 1st cousin in Denver and the pending funeral life has intruded on the normal routine.

November 1 - Pontification Time: While I hunkered down here in Mogote bivouacked near the RR working on the Rapido announcement (that I hope will be complete in an hour) I was listening to Sirius XM 70's on 7 for Casey Kasem's American Top 40.  As he counted down to Gladys Knight & the Pips Midnight Train to Georgia (their first #1 on 10/27/73) I was once again reminded of Sunday nights spent doing homework and counting down with Kasey.  Then I was troubled by all the consternation the Casem family has gone through since his passing.  I sit here in the cold of the San Luis Valley and pray that they can once and finally find the peace and tranquility that Kasey brought so many of my generation especially as he concluded each week with this phrase: "Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the Stars."  Now that AT40 has concluded for this week I will put in the Garth Brooks DVD from Wynn Las Vegas, the "Blame it all on My Roots" Concert.   What better day can one have?

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.
