Too good to be true sale?

They are not pulling your leg! That's the real deal!

Gunny

Williams engines are very good runners in the conventional environment.

Their scale GG1 was a great buy before at a normal street price of $250, but $150 is just nutty

If you run conventional and don't mind a primitive horn (two long, two short grade crossing sequence) and bell, I would go for any of the deal in the e-mail they sent out today (I got it too).

The price makes adding TMCC worthwhile

Gunny

Certainly a terrific deal.  If I was into GG1s, I would pick up at least 10 of them (like Marty Fitzhenry did at York).

Williams has some of the best conventional locomotives available. The Trainland sale is tough to skip over if you are a conventional operator.

You could buy ten or so and put em on the buy sell board! Don't forget the extra ten percent off with the YORK code

Gunny

Boy, with 10% off, $135 sure makes the GG-1 a good deal!

And I thought that my PC scale GG1 at $275 was a pretty good price a few years ago...
(as a NYC fan I had to get PC); $150 for the loco; $120 for ERR Cruise Commander, and
you have a nice, TMCC scale model for under $300. They look nearly as good as the die-cast - there's just not much "detail" to model.

Tempting - and another PRR loco is not something I really want.

Dang guys what the link and whats the York code already ???????????
When you google trainland all you get is some place with a layout that hasn't been dusted in 40 years.

David

Try Trainworld, the name is Trainland/Trainworld.

I didn't go to York, so I don't have a discount code.

Sorry - It was listed as Trainworld/Trainland. I should have put Trainworld up. I checked their regular site and they have the discounts up....

Where do I find this sale??  The super sale price I see for the scale GG1 is $244.

I could not find any place for a discount code when I was going to buy so I left the site.

Here's a link to the GG1 page:

http://www.trainworldonline.co.../diesel-engines/gg1/

I believe the code word was YORK, but I could be wrong about that.  Cheapo pricing in any event, even without a further discount.

Oops!  I see Don already posted the link.  Oh, well, a bit of redundancy won't hurt, I suppose.

thanks for the notice, I just ordered my first PRR GG1.

Thanks guys. I just placed my order.

I thought the prices on some of the Williams passenger cars were good too. For example, they have some 4 car, 60 foot madison style sets for $99 each.

I've been wanting a scale Penn Central GG-1 and was going for the rare Lionel JLC model. But heck, $135?? I'm in. Gotta liquidate some stuff first though. Head to the B/S board and help me get one before the sale ends 

Well .
I guess I'm stuck with a green 5 stripe with Pencil Vania on the side of it.
It'd be hard to re-letter it for N&W LOL.

If most of you read the thread the other day about saving money by converting engines to TMCC as opposed to buying them for a thousand bucks. Well this is one of the ways to do it.

Now being a N&W guy and we didn't have any trains down here that ran off electricity
Whats that Canary they were talking about? They said theres something on top of the engine that rubs against a Canary?   I don't see how that little bitty bird is going to make that big engine go?

David

Thanks for the tip Michael! I just ordered one online and it took my order so I guess they are still available.

Anyone that buy's 10 of them is a Hoarder, or invester. Not a good investment for sure.

Is this purely an online deal or can one go into the store and get it with the York discount? Just realized we'll be in Brooklyn tomorrow and it would be nicer to pick it up in person.

YOU GUYS STINK! Quit talking about this before I have to sneak another train in the house. How do I hide a Red, White & Blue GG-1?

Scott Smith

But they don't weigh 8+ pounds

They also have the EF-4 Rectifiers in VGN, NH and N+W for $99. I just ordered one. The EF-4 I have is my best running engine by far.

Just ordered a scale Penn Central GG-1.  What a great deal!

I must have just missed it. The N&W EF-4 is now listed at $184.99. The PRR and Blue VGN are still $99

Does anyone know what the cab number is for item number 41807?  I went to the Bachmann site to see if I could read it better but no such luck.  I just can't make out the cab number and I don't want to order one that I already have.  Does anybody know??

Thanks for your help,

Alan

Looks like 4913 but I am not entirely sure. What I think is a 9 is especially fuzzy. I tried to look for an actual picture but could not find one. I will most likely be in Trainworld tomorrow so if no one responds definitively by then I'll check the number in the store.

Just ordered the Penn Central, great price.

scott,

what is ONE more engine, and it's this CHEAP......YOU CAN DO IT........

I too ordered the PennCentral, primarily because of the PC GG-1 at the NYC Museum in nearby Elkart, IN.  I'm surprised to see that so many hace purchased the road name. By the way, the NYC Historical Society Annual meeting is the first weekend of May at EssenHause in Middlebury, IN.  It will feature a tour of the museum and the large former NYC (now NS) yards in Elkhart.  Looking forward to it. Dick

I looked at the other offerings at Train World. NW switchers in B&O paint for 99.00 ......not bad! Tom in PGH

Ah, Eddie, you don't know Marty very well, do you?  He doesn't buy trains as an investment; he runs the heck out of them on one very large layout (equipped with catenary).  Marty is one of those guys who just has one heck of a lot of fun with this hobby and doesn't sweat the small stuff.

I am glad that the ad was good for some of you. I might add that Trainworld's deliver is blazing fast. (no, I don't work for them)

It is an in store deal too. I live down the block from Trainland and after reading this thread yesterday I bought the PRR green version for $149 (had $75 gift certificate too!).

Thanks guys for the tip!!

I called Bachmann about the cab number referenced in my post above and the service rep said that it was cab number 4913.  So...I ordered the Penn Central and the 4913.  This now gives me 35 scale GG-1s all with different cab numbers.  My favorite locomotive so thanks for the heads up....I would have missed out if not for this thread!

Alan

Wow... I just realized I was in NYC two weeks ago and didn't even remember that that store was there.    I would have dragged my dad down there for a visit.
