Dear European Railway Fan:

We sell new (2-rail, DC) European manufacture ‘HO’ scale products and repair, as parts are available. My background spans two careers; one in scale model building for industry, architects, museums and the military plus mechanical and electrical design engineering, tool and jig creation for industry.

Product of the manufacture may be gleened from a variety of sources; including catalog availability from us, listed above. Also, may be seen at four (4) scheduled Euro. train shows in February, April, October and December — Märklin enthusiasts of America (request schedule and directions!). My lists, however, are mainly focusing on european model railroad in 12-16V DC.

Non-stock, special customer orders, may not be cancelled, except due to customer’s demise, because we are unable to return same to wholesale source. We are interested in serious customers by offering products at a competitive discounted price, not absorb costs created by our customers.

If you are concerned about your purchase information and if it is secure; don't be. Your personal information is kept in a file cabinet, not a computer file, because we use no computer to save on overhead business expenses, passing the savings on to you, our customer. Our internet site is for information only, not for transactions.

Request Fax: (same as above) You must call first and request that Fax be activated since it is the same number. This keeps cost down for you and me.
