MTH has been shipping product directly into Baltimore Harbor and they have at least four containers coming in this week. In addition to our Monon F3s and passenger cars, I am expecting the DB44s, the SD-40s, the RK J's and lots of other stuff to get on the pallets and head our way. If you haven't checked out their facebook page, get on there. They take terrific photos of newly arrived product on their layout and post them. Almost daily.
We have a few Monon sets left, and preorders for a couple hundred MTH engines coming - you can order from us on our website - I think I have the search function fixed - thanks to those of you that posted about a problem.
From Lionel, I still think we will see the Big Boys and Cab Forwards. The rest of the PE scale cars finally came in. I have one Big Boy left for pre-order.
Mrs Muffin is working out with our landlord an additional warehouse for the next few months - our 800 square feet in back won't cut it!
I have been in this hobby for a long time, and I don't ever recall a December like this.
PS - Have you seen the MTH RK depressed flats with the rocket on a trailer? Terrific. And I just got in the Premier 6-Car Flat sets with the pipe load. The flats cars are terrific models - I love the decking.
PPS - Mrs Muffin is customizing the Woodland Scenics IGA J.Franks for different stores by changing the billboard and logo. She's charging $20 to do it. On top of our sale price of $94.96, it's still a good deal.
We are running trains on Sunday's this month. So if you're in the neighborhood, stop in. And check us out on TM Books and Video Toy Train Revue Four!
