Too funny. I'm on the phone with them right now!
You all turned me onto these folks. Turns out Woodland Scenic is right next door and Mo went next door to go get an answer to my question.
THAT my friends is true customer service!!!!
So I've ordered the Woodland Scenic T1344 and FL632 scenery/ground cover and some more 33" steel wheels.
Order placed!
Probably won't see it until next week being it's already Wednesday afternoon.
I just wanted to be sure these were 32oz shakers and some little sample packs.
When I got my NCE all hooked up and going, I dropped my cab one night. It didn't hit anything but the #8 key came completely out. I didn't know to do. Someone here in the "diner" gave me their direct number and said to call. I did. The feller I talked to asked if I was OK with taking stuff apart and minor repairs. "Sure!". He sent me a new keypad membrane next-day air with zero cost to me. Again that is customer service.
NG: hook up with these folks at MB Klein (modelrailroadstuff.com). They are super happy to help... as I am as well.
Like "Montanan"(Chet) says, build your list and make the shipping cost count.
Oh, and by the way, if you forget something (like I have many times), call them up, tell them your order number and they'll add to it - no charge. Again TRUE customer service!!!

LOL No worries there, the orders I'm placing get the 'treatment', they be Large, the guy called the first time to make sure it was not a joke! Now he calls to ask if I need MORE! LOL Getting down to it but still got some padding, most everything is purchased, just gotta put it down and try to run it, saving a bit back for the unexpected. Got 63 carefully chosen 2x4's in the garage, get the Boy to bring em down after dinner, gonna have us a little framing party tomorrow! Get the walls up so there will be someplace to attach the drywall ceiling. One more big batch of wood and I can start thinking electrical thoughts! I projected my expenses on the(very) high side and it is proving to be a wise strategy, the budget allowed for compared to actual expense has been about as expected BEFORE research. The 'save some back for the unexpected' provision was written into the original plan! I figured it would take about a grand for each category,#1, lumber,#2, good engines,#3, enough rolling stock,#4, enough track, connectors, turnouts and such,#5, details, like couplers, wheel-sets, specialty tools, #6,wiring/electrical power and throttles,#7,#8, THE UNEXPECTED! When I FIRST thought about it, I figured, at max, 10 G's I could hit the rails running, I was not far off. Of course I know nobody HAS to, or CAN spend like this to do this hobby and I know I never will again! But I'm(from SCRATCH!) playin 40 years of catch-up in less than a year, Mom passed last Oct and I want to be running trains by then, BIG trains! She's buying it, I'm gonna play with it!
