Back from Trainfest and trying to catch up.

Hello everyone.  It’s good to be back home.  Our trip to Trainfest went much better than expected and we all had a good time.  I will try to post the few pix that I had a chance to take when I get some time.  It’s good and bad that while we were there you all were still ordering DVD and such and I have a backlog to deal with.  I appreciate your patience if you are waiting for a shipment.

On the “I DID A DUMB THING” adgenda is fixing a problem.  Seems that in my haste to produce product for the show I put First Street labels on HO Scale Steel DVDs.  I’m pretty sure it’s only 10 or less.  I have already accounted for 4.  SO!, If you bought an HO 1st. Street DVD, at the show, please open it up and check it.  If it turns out to be an HO Steel DVD, please email us your Name and address so we can send you a correct DVD.  You can email us at <mize1@sbcglobal.net> or you can call my home number, (708) 339-7523 and leave a message.  We are seldom around to answer.

Sorry for the hassle, but STUFF HAPPENS!  Oh yea, you can obviously keep the Steel disc, with our compliments.

Anyway, the show went really well.  We met alot of folks who had never heard of us.  We sold alot of DVD’s and Shingles.  Thom’s new HOn30 New England based dock and mine layout was a big hit.  We didn’t have access to power so we ran the layout from a single 6v battery, recycled from an old emergency light.  I can’t believe that the layout ran continuously for 21 hours without recharging.

Hopefully, I will have some video of that up soon also.

Lastly, we will be getting a new button up on the website that will say “BUY SHINGLES”  it will allow you to purchase just the same as buying a DVD.  They are $20.00 per package and cover about 48 sq.” on O and 56 sg.” in HO.  As we have previously announced, you not only get the shingles, but tarpaper and underlayment.  Shipping and handling will be $5.00 per order up to 5 packages.  It will be automatically calculated, once we get the button up.

If you just can’t wait, and we do already have some orders, you can “SEND MONEY” via Pay Pal to <mize1@sbcglobal.net> and we will process you order as fast as we can.  We do still have a few packages left from the show and more are in the pipeline.

More coming later. so bye for now.  Dave & Thom

Website Update PLEASE READ (5 new DVD's)

We have been talking a lot about updates to the website and my difficulty with figuring out writing the code for it.  WELL, today you should notice that there is a new button on the left side of your screen.  It is labeled Get DVD’s.  You are  probably all used to the old BUY DISKS button that has been part of this site for years.  Well, IF ALL GOES WELL, it will be disapearing soon.  The old button and the new one should both work with a bit of a difference.  The old button takes you where it always has and you will still get textbased descriptiond of the contents.  The NEW button will take you to a completely different place where you will be able to view pictures of each DVDs contents as well as buy them.

BIG ADDITION!!!   For the first time you will be able to buy the JACKSON COLLECTION of 5 NEW DVD’s.  You may have seen these at the last couple of shows we have attended.  They are a collection of  new discs that are ecconomically priced at $20.00 each.   President Andrew Jackson is on the twenty dollar bill, hence the name.

Some of our old DVD’s   I.E. Critters & Cars and the Gorre Enginehouse will not show up with the new button..  They will get there eventually, but for now use the old button for them.  Also, I have not yet put up new pictures of the textures.  You can still view them via the Get Textures button.

IMPORTANT!!!   Please, If you experience any problems, let me know as soon as possible so I can get to fixing things.  This was a huge project for me and I might not have all the bugs out yet.  No matter what, we will make good on any purchases that don’t work out as planned.  I just didn’t want to stall this udgrade any longer.

Thanks for your patience and support.
