“Do not sit still; start moving now. In the beginning, you may not go in the direction you want, but as long as you are moving, you are creating alternatives and possibilities.” – Rodolfo Costa

Yes, another newsletter. More announcements and information we received from one of our distributors to keep you up-to-date with what is happening in our Model Railroading world. As most of you are aware, we are going from solitary confinement to enjoying our freedom again. The world paused everything, including making items, but now most people are wanting items that are not available, which is causing shortages and prices to rise. Well, it is affecting our industry as well. Below are excerpts that we received from one of our distributors:

As you can see this distributor is expecting a challenging rest of 2021. We have ordered early and reordered many times to keep our stocking level as high as we can afford to, so we can serve you the best we possibly can in these unpredictable times. However, one has to wonder if this instability and additional costs would start bring some of this back to the US? On the bright side I was just reading how the building materials prices are starting to recede, maybe our distributor is not as optimistic as we are? Isn’t this fun!😊

We are having another zany condition, so to celebrate our wackiness we are having a Fabulous Father’s Friday, tomorrow, 6/18/2021, in our physical store and online store. Of course, it will only be the typical open hours on Friday in our store, but it will be 24 hours long in our online store. Enter the coupon code FFF2021 to receive an additional 10% off all items!

Of course, all Sales orders, Work orders used items or consignment items do not apply.
