Trying to keep the web site current as well as run the store and set up Ebay sales has proved to be too much of a challenge. As I cannot afford to pay someone to update the web site it has suffered. For new products that are announced and for those that have recently been released by the manufacturers I suggest that you go to their sites &/or subscribe to their periodic news bulletins. We deal with Walthers on a weekly basis ( orders sent Sunday are available the following Friday ). As well we send orders to Horizon every Wednesday for Athearn, Roundhouse/MDC and Intermountain products and receive them by Friday as well. We can give a one week turnaround on your order if it is in stock at our suppliers. If you see or hear about something new we can get it for you very promptly. Rapido Trains will be releasing ready to run passenger cars as found in the CN Super Continental. These will be available in early and late CN paint schemes, as well as VIA and a number of US railroads. They are also offering an operating model of the Turbo which ran between Toronto and Montreal. We will stock these items and are accepting reservations. For additional info and specific road numbers check out Rapido Trains Railroad Explorer In November 2006 they will release a 180 page hardcover book examining Alco locomotives in the northeast. Alcos Northeast will be a color photobook with captions covering Alco locomotive use in the northeast from 1969 to 2006.
