March 14 - We have an EXCLUSIVE Special Run of the Athearn 2600cuft Airslide Covered Hopper.  This car is a unique Northern Pacific Hopper!  Get your orders in NOW to make sure you get yours!

Please submit your Order using our secure ON-LINE shopping cart and receive your order confirmation right awayIt's the low cost way to place your order!  If you want to order by e-mail or phone and pay the $15 processing fee you may do so.   FYI: Shopping Cart orders are processed first each day. With the computer crash we experienced it takes much longer to  process orders not placed through the shopping cart as we try to get caught up.

Special Announcements Above

Please remember to give your first and last name and the city and state where you live in all your e-mails.

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 place your order using our SECURE Shopping Cart site: 
http://wig-wag-trains-cart.com/home

If you MUST send an e-mail inquiry, copy & paste the entire description TEXT ONLY (NO pictures!) from the item you are ordering into your e-mail.
It will save time and reduce confusion in determining what you are inquiring about.
With the quantity of lines we carry it's not possible to memorize all of them.

While the color was matched to a paint called "Maersk Blue", it may be a bit dark for some folks, while others are happy with it. So here is the deal. If you just have to have a Maersk unit now and like the color, you are in luck as you will have it shortly. If you prefer a lighter baby-blue color, we will run additional units in mid to late 2014 with a new hue. We will make an official announcement when we re-run them, so please do not order lighter blue units until that time. Best Price Pre-Orders close at Wig-Wag on October 26th.  Don't wait any longer as we expect they will be sold out before that date.

October 14 - Fox Valley Models' announcement e-mail was very informative.  We are printing it below for your  perusal:

"Greetings Everyone,

We are pleased to announce two additional paint schemes on the GP60M & B locomotives - BNSF H3 (Wedge scheme) and Maersk. To date, BNSF has only painted a few of these locomotives in the latest scheme and we are offering all three - two M's and one B unit. The Santa Fe painted one locomotive for Maersk for promotional purposes. The modified war bonnet scheme was worn for only a short time before being painted back into traditional red and silver. These four locomotives will start shipping the first week of Nov. Quantities are finite, so please order as needed. The flyer and Excel sheet are attached.

Shipping updates:

The ATSF GP60s are now sold out and the BNSF green/orange units are on their ways to store shelves now.

The HO & N Hiawatha locomotives and cars will start shipping to stores this week.

The newly announced GPs above will start shipping in early Nov. HO & N Express Cars and Bunk Coaches will follow and the 2013 N Scale Christmas cars will ship the 3rd week of Nov. (watch for that announcement in a few weeks).

Dec will be busy with HO & N Wagontops, N Canstock cars and the rerun of N Heritage GEVOs.

That is all for this round. We are out photographing real trains for future projects today and part of tomorrow. Starting Thur, we will be attending the annual Prototype meet in Naperville, IL, stop by if you have a chance to see some incredible models.

Best regards,

Matt"

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.
