After practically buying out the NW supply of Walthers (Shinhara) Code 83 turnouts, one has to ask - is there any left out there??

I understand that they only manufacture them once or twice a year. Im looking for LOTS of #4's. Any suggestions??
 
I think they get a delivery twice a year: once in June, once in the fall. Most of the time they are delayed. Hey, I know all about your frustration. I use many of their turnouts and there has been a time I called Ohio, Texas, and California to get enough for a yard. Find you a list of Hobby Shops and start calling. First Place Hobbies http://www.1stplacehobbies.com./ usually has them long after Walthers has sold out.

You can build your own switches using fast tracks templates. They are easy to use and if you need more than a dozen switches, they are cheaper too.

My Club couldn't get any switches from walthers, so we went with Fast-Tracks.
