“Hobbies are great distractions from the worries and troubles that plague daily living.” - Bill Malone

The votes are counted and we have the results for our virtual structure contest that we offered to all of our customers. All eight of us at EHS judged the entries independently and came up with their first, second and third place winners. Each first place was given three points, two points for second place and one point for third place.

With twenty-twenty being out of focus it is not a surprise that we ended up deadlocked for first place. However, lawyers are not needed to remedy our dilemma, we have it figured out. We will award two first place winners and one third place winner. Each first-place winner will receive an EHS gift certificate for the price of their kit plus $62.50, which is the combined first and second place prizes split between them.

Now without further rambling; the winners are:
George Doncheck and Scott Schnabl - First place
Justin Hendrickson - Third Place.

We will be posting some of their photos on our Facebook page in the coming week.

Our celebration of National Model Railroad Month continues. This past week we offered you a discount on all rolling stock through our online store, that continues until midnight tonight. Then the rolling stock discount turns into a pumpkin. (sorry, I couldn’t resist). Starting at Midnight we have a new coupon NMRM-ROUND2 which is for a discount for all Scenery. This new coupon code will be valid until Midnight on Saturday 11/14/2020. Once again, because we need to be safe, this discount can only be used via our online store.

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

We continue to receive new products. We received Atlas’ new 3-Bay Trinity 3230 covered hoppers called Atlas Plus. We expect the long-awaited Arrowhead Models GONX Gondolas to arrive on Monday and on their heels will be the new Coal haulers from Tangent Scale Models. We received the new Kadee CNW Boxcar and their Christmas 2020 2-Bay Covered Hopper. Yesterday we received the new 85’ Flat cars from Walthers Mainline. Next week we expect the new Digitrax BD4N block detector board along with a bunch of restocks. We also have restocks coming in from City Classics, Micro Engineering, Soundtraxx, ESU and Kadee.

Thank you for your patronage!
