Important Ordering Tips

April 21, 2022 / Lowell Smith / Comments Off

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!

What They Say:

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.

I received my observation/business car today and – like all of my other cars from you – I love it!

I look forward to continuing to buy trains from my favorite special run train maker. That’s how I think of you now, “The Train Maker”. And speaking of cool trains, I just received a box loaded with great looking Texas Special cars. Thanks. I certainly look forward to all the new releases you are planning.
