“Hobbies are both a mystery and a delight. They're a mystery because many people with hobbies don't always share them with others. They're a delight because of the pure joy they provide to the hobbyist, making hours pass like minutes!” - Willet Ryder

 

With 2020 winding down it continues to be a unique year. With the uptick in Covid-19 cases we can justify spending more time with our great hobby and not offend anyone or feel guilty. November is National Model Railroad Month and we typically see a lot of you at Trainfest. However, with the pandemic, Trainfest has been cancelled like everything else. In fact, we just got notice from the good folks in Stevens Point that their show in January has been cancelled as well.

 

As of right now we do not see any shows on the horizon. Nevertheless, to celebrate our great hobby, we would like to offer you some incentives to pick up some items at some great prices during the month of November. We will start out on November first, for one week only, with a discount on ALL freight and passenger cars!

 

Because we need to be safe, this discount can only be used via our online store. All you need to do is apply this coupon NMRM-ROUND1 when you are checking out to receive the sweet discount off our already low web prices! Insert the coupon code in the gray box then click the orange box to apply it. We thought about doing this only for select items, however we felt if we are going to celebrate, then let’s go big! Don’t forget we offer free ground shipping in the continental United States on orders over $100 when you select that option while checking out.

As mentioned above, we have an uptick of Covid-19 cases in our area, therefore we are continuing to operate by appointment to limit exposure to our staff and to you, our valued customers.

 

FYI – we just received the Athearn Genesis HO Scale tank cars and GP7 locos in CNW, WAB, D&RGW, and Weyerhaeuser. We also received some Athearn RTR boxcars and Roundhouse Ore cars. We also received the Rapido Flexi-Flo cars, but they are going fast!

 

Our structure contest wrapped up yesterday and we will be posting the winners on our Facebook page as soon as they are judged, which should be sometime next week.

 

Don't forget to change your clocks tonight, otherwise you will be early wherever you’re going. If you are always late, don't change your clocks and surprise everyone when you show up early.
