March 14 - We have an EXCLUSIVE Special Run of the Athearn 2600cuft Airslide Covered Hopper.  This car is a unique Northern Pacific Hopper!  Get your orders in NOW to make sure you get yours!

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. With the computer crash we experienced it takes much longer to  process orders not placed through the shopping cart as we try to get caught up.


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.

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.
