New items.....new runs announced are Bay window cabooses (they are up on the website now for pre-order), refreigerated 40' containers, and 33,000 gallon tank cars. The containers and the 33,000 tank cars I still have to put up on the web. I'll probably do it when I'm watching the dodgers game later today

Other news (not that u asked) ..The sun was orange all day yesterday from smoke in the air. The air was thick with the smell of smoke, just walking out the front door. Luckily the fires arent that close. Temps have been in the 100's for over a week now, and internet and phone service has been up and down, but the A/C hasnt quit, so we are doing OK. Seems a few more people are taking the Covid seriously now, and new cases are diminishing slightly...and Hollywood is beginning to film again...so next week Im going back down to LA for the 1st time since March. Both my daughters came to visit for a few days, so that was really nice. About 11 orders behind right now, so trying to get caught up....

What i order extra of is mostly diesels (2 rail and 3 rail) and scale sized freight cars. Not so much in MTH passenger cars, as they are 80' cars kinda squeezed down to 70' .....but there are about 20 sets of NOS mth passenger sets here. They look OK, but we have mostly Golden Gate in the passenger car dept, as they are full scale sized cars

Jan 1, 2019. Happy new year! Cant believe 6 months has gone by so fast.The latest...Altho we are mostly known for having Atlas O stuff, we now are stocking more MTH and Lionel. We are getting mostly full O scale sized items, and things that are different, or, IMHO, just cool. MTH GE 44 tonners are on their way, and Lionel SD-70ACe's just got here. Lionel remakes of the Weaver B60 baggage cars are here, and a lot of the ex-Weaver cars, now Lionel "Lionelscale".

Also have Weaver diecast sprung trucks. available separately now.Also, we have the Lionel B60's available in 2 rail, which Lionel doesnt offer.Have been digging thru a stockpile of MTH freight cars, and getting more up on the web for sale. Some date back to 1996. After I finish up the MTH premier 50' box cars and cabooses, and misc cars, I'll start in on the pile of Lionel scale cars thats here. Maybe a hundred cars, all full scale. We do have the new GLa hoppers up for sale now. Then there's still Lionel engines from the 2000-2010 range, and a LOT of k-line that maybe i'll get around to before im dead. haha.Will continue to put more MTH buildings up on the web, and going to start in with signals, lamps, accessories.

Troop sleepers are back in stock, Ex-weaver pullman-bradley coaches are here, new 50' box cars, tank cars, cant remember what else.Golden Gate...heavyweight diners, obs cars, baggage cars, and rpo's should be here in march. Bought out the remaining stock of 70' (harriman style) cars, so they are here.Have been getting a lot of new customers recently, and people asking "do you have this in stock?" Especially from 2 railers, who cant believe we have 2 rail. (I think we are one of the top 5 Atlas/MTH/Golden Gate/Weaver 2 rail dealers)Just so everyone knows...we keep the website up to date, and it is 98% accurate.I'll try to update this at least once a month now...... beth

Jan 15th, 2018...Just so everyone knows....The mudslides in the Santa Barbara-Ventura area have closed the 101 freeway in that area. This is the main route that all our shipments go thru, both in and out. The Post Office, and Fedex, (I think) are rerouting things the long way to LA. Inbound freight from Manufacturers to us, tho, has be stuck in LA so far. This includes the Atlas GACC reefers, the airslides, 50' flat cars. We are just waiting.

If u dont want to pay with paypal, just call us at 805-226-0320.Golden Gate depot...Have a number of Harriman passenger cars in stock. New stuff....working on another run of heavyweight Baggage, baggage/mail, diner, and observation cars. Because short runs of these cars can be done, and keep the price down, we've listed 24+ road names. Final production will depend on what is received in pre-orders. Target is to have the cars in stock within a year...none of this 3 year wait stuff. We do still have some of the heavyweight cars from previous runs in stock, which are listed in the website. We still have some aluminum passenger cars in stock, but the pile is getting thin.MTH....Have been picking up some of their closeout stuff, and getting if up on the website. Quite a few diesels and some steam engines. Lots of MTH freight cars here...trying to get them up on the site...as time permits.Lionel....Have the ex-Weaver items (Lion Scale) up for sale and pre-order. All cars are available individually..You dont have to buy 6 car sets. Also have about 200 Lionel Scale freight cars here...we will get them up for sale..hopefully within a month or two.
Oct 27th..... Atlas (former weaver) B&O wagontop box car and 50' composite gondolas are on their way from Atlas. Also Atlas 40' Steel rebuilt box cars and 50' PS-1 box cars. I'll sending out invoices this weekend. If you have some on order and want to pay with a CC, you can always call us 805-226-0320. LIONEL scale cars and LionScale (former Weaver cars.) Since we had been Weaver Dealers forever, we decided to carry a limited amount of the Lionel LionScale freight cars, for now, which are former Weaver freight cars. We'll see how the interest is. We are trying to keep the price about the same as the original weaver cars, with diecast trucks. The cars in the 2017 Lionel Signature catalog will be listed for pre-order as soon as I have a chance. We will also carry some of the other cars..the 50' TOFC's ....and maybe the B60's....The price of the B60's from Lionel is higher than what we sell the Weaver B60's for. We probably have about 60 of the Weaver B60's left...and as far as I can see....the Lionel ones are no different. We may pick up a few to see if there is any interest at the Lionel price. Also have about 200 Lionel Scale cars here...that have been accumulating over the years. So we will start listing them as time permits. Also a couple dozen Lionel scale engines. But they will be last.UPCOMING AND NEW SPECIAL RUNS.....We have 2 new Flying A gasoline Atlas 8000 gallon tank cars scheduled for end of 2017 arrival. Both the earlier version (small flying A in a circle) and the later version (larger flying A). The earlier version will have the original "ASSOCIATED" name and AOX reporting marks (Yes the "Flying A" was for Associated Oil Company of Bakesrfield, Ca) , and the later logo car with have the TIDEWATER name and TWOX reporting marks. (Tide Water started in New York City) Tidewater bought Associated and retained the Flying A brand. The merged company was officially The Tidewater Associated Oil Company well into the 1950's. The company had tank cars with both the AOX and TWOX reporting marks, into the 1950's. At least 2 of the AOX tank cars and one of the TWOX remain in musuems/tourist line today.Also we are scheduling the GATX plain old black 11,000 gallon tank car. The vast majority of tank cars i real life are just plain black, but the classic and ubiquitous 1930's-1960's GATX center sill tank car has not been done in a highly detailed O scale model in recent memory.

Sept 3, 2015....Our shipping guy has been out sick all week, so things are backed up, not that that is unusual. Luckily, its the slow time of the year, and we are only behind by about 10 orders.

We should finish shipping them next week.In other news that most of u don't cars about...I'm in Steel Magnolias for 3 more weeks of performances, Vocal jazz workshop and jazz ensemble started in August and go thru Dec., just picked up 2 singing gigs in Sept., back to doing stand-up about once a week, and, auditions for a number of shows coming up. Its all a lot of work, but worth it.

August 9, 2015.....My dad is in the hospital and will pass within a few days. He is 94, and the body just doesn't last forever. My mom has big time memory loss, so she needs to be taken care of too, and there will be a lot to do. (Not to mention 4 performing arts classes a week, and I'm in Steel Magnolias thru the end of Sept.)Thanks for your thoughts, but what I really need is for everyone to be patient about receiving their orders. We are about 20 orders behind right now, and we have pre-orders for 60' auto parts box cars, PS4750's, trainman 40' sliding door box cars, and GGD heavyweights to get out.

August 1, 2015:The following cars have been shipped for all who pre-ordered, with just a few exceptions for those we are still waiting for payment from. If you pre-ordered and have not received your cars, please email us at pdt212@gmail.com. We do have extras, so we can still take care of anyone whose order was lost in the cracks.Atlas O California Zephyr Dome observation cars and 6-5 sleepers Golden Gate "Finish" sets (4 car sets)Now shipping: Atlas O: Morristown and Erie Box cars, Susquehanna Box cars, Nevada Northern Hopper cars, PS4750s, 40' sliding door box cars. Shipping later this month: Golden Gate Modernized heavyweight coaches.Weaver Models closing.....The weaver models closing was very sudden and quick. Announcement to shutdown was 2 weeks, with another 2 weeks alloted to shipping outstanding orders. We had to scramble to get what we could. We did manage to get the remainder of the MILW ribbed side box cars, the 40' wood side gondolas, 40' tank cars, PRR/PC/CR H30 covered hopper cars, tropicana 57' reefers, and a smattering of other stuff.NOTE: Since the Weaver trucks/couplers and car bodies were manufactured separately, the trucks were added to the cars as ordered. In the end, there were 1000+ more car bodies remaining than trucks/couplers. If you have Weaver trucks and couplers, metal or plastic, just letting u know that they will be in short supply. Especially the diecast ones. We would like to get another 1000 pair ourselves, but its just not possible right now. I guess we'll see what happens.....
