Non-USA customers please include the country.

Stock Checks:

Inventory is a fluid commodity.  It changes by the hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson. When we held items for customers’ orders, the order never materialized 80%+ of the time.  We lost out on the orders placed while the item was on hold.  Also we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms pages, we don’t do it anymore.
You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items are available and if possible attempt to locate what we don’t have while you are on the phone.

Please copy & paste the entire description TEXT (no pictures please) from the item you are ordering into your e-mail.
It will save time and reduce possible confusion in determining what you are ordering.
With the quantity of lines we carry it's not possible to memorize all of them.

May 25 - Some news from Atlas.

Message from the Atlas CEO to our Customers-Distributors, Retailers and Consumers,

In an effort to stabilize pricing, while assuring the continuation of quality Atlas model railroad products, I made a decision approximately one year ago to transfer all Atlas product molds from a primary supplier to multiple suppliers. The transfer of more than 5,000 Atlas proprietary molds and tools was not as smooth as I had hoped for; however, the process is nearly complete.

The following is a current update on Atlas production.

1. N, HO and O Freight Cars and Locomotives- Atlas freight cars and locomotives are in full production at our new suppliers and are currently being shipped from Atlas to distributors. Watch our A-Z on-line shipping schedule for updates. http://www.atlasrr.com/ordership.htm

2. O Gauge Track and Accessories- Atlas has a complete supply of both 3 rail and 2 rail track products and accessories. 2 rail flex track is currently sold out at Atlas and is in short supply at retailers. Production is being worked on and will be available late summer.

3. N and HO Gauge - Our new supplier is currently testing and prepping primary Atlas track molds. Production will start in June and Atlas will receive the first shipments of N & HO track this summer. Consumers should check their retailers for availability. If individual consumers need a few pieces of track to finish or repair their layout Atlas will fill their order from a limited supply of customer service stock while supplies last. Cost is MSRP, no discounts.

4. N & HO Accessories- Atlas has a limited supply of accessories and retailers should be checked for availability. New suppliers have started production of these products and full availability will be achieved during the summer and early fall.

I would like to thank all of our customers- distributors, retailers and consumers- for your continued support of Atlas products. Especially during these last few years of tough economic times. I wish you all, your families and friends, in particular all our veterans, a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend holiday.

Sincerely,

Thomas W. Haedrich,
CEO Atlas Model Railroad Co. Inc.

May 18 - In case you haven't figured it out yet, the url for our new Shopping Cart Website is: www.http://wig-wag-trains-cart.com.  If you haven't looked there yet, you are missing out!

May 06 - Walthers has pushed back delivery for the SW-9/1200 locomotives and in one of the most ridiculous moves we've seen in our 10-year history, has raised the dealer price but not the MSRP of these locos, forcing us to raise our price (or lose 3% on each one sold) for any orders placed beginning now.  Timely orders (already placed) will receive the original pricing discount of 28% off MSRP.  These are linked to our Shopping Cart Site and SHOULD be ordered using that secure system.

May 06 - Miller Engineering's LightWorks USA has announced new signs for delivery in July 2012.  Included will be a Cracker Jack billboard featuring Sailor Jack and his dog Bingo.  George remembers Cracker Jack from when his Dad took him to hockey games in the old War Memorial Auditorium.  Do you remember the name of the Buffalo minor league hockey team?  Also coming is a Building sign for A&P Grocery like the one in University Plaza that George's Dad used to take George to on Friday evenings when he did the family shopping.  Apparently A&P is gone now and 'Top's" has taken over that space.  These are linked to our Shopping Cart Site and SHOULD be ordered using that secure system.

May 01 - Kato has announced that they will be re-stocking the single Amfleet & Viewliner cars previously released.  Why they are using the same road numbers is a total mystery since we could have sold fleets of new road number cars.  In any case we are accepting orders for the re-stocks and expect them to arrive in about 2 weeks.

A Note on Stock Status:
Not all items can be in stock at all times. Due to minimum order requirements from manufacturers and distributors and shipping charges, we "bunch" up re-orders to save you money. Sometimes it takes longer, but we can continue to offer the item at a substantial discount that way.

Confused about Reservations?
Please consider that this is the way we pay the bills and put food on the table. Taking pre-orders allows us to order enough to cover known demand. We attempt to gauge (ok, guess) how many will be ordered after the order deadline plus allow us to have the item in stock for 45-60 days after shipment by the manufacturer.
Sometimes we get it right and sometimes we don't. Occasionally, when an item is not likely to be produced again (D&RGW H-15-44s for example) we order beyond our guess to have a few for longer than that.
