Important Ordering Tips

  • Please remember that orders are not shipped until all items in your order have arrived from the factory.  
  • Before placing your order, see the product page for ‘expected arrival dates’ as shown.
  • Ordering items that are arriving soon, or in the next month, ALONG WITH items that are ‘in stock’ is smart, but will delay your shipment until all items can be shipped together at once.
  • Although you may be saving on shipping by creating a list of items, please just remember that none of it will ship until the last item arrives from the factory.

Know that we update the product page for each item as we get current information as to delivery window from the factories. So, check the individual product page for the most current ETAs.

All to bring you great trains as fast as we can and to help with your expectations for their arrivals!

I just received my Carolwood Pacific cars yesterday. They are exquisite! Every attention to detail was paid here, and I can’t thank you enough for putting this into production.  They are going to look amazing, circling my main Street miniatures display.

The thing I love about all the things you do is the fact that everything is so well thought out, so beautiful and so unique.

Thank you for all that you do for the N Scale community. Your products by far, in my opinion, are the top of the line when it comes to N Scale Trains and I am always on the lookout for them when they come up for auction.
