@PH1975 posted:Jhz563 - Unfortunately it may boil down to you making a decision as to which you prefer more - using a vacation day (to pick up your trains) or incurring unknown (at this point) shipping charges? It's an unenvious position to be in - that's for sure.
Good Luck!
Well my purchases arrived in a timely manner and the shipping cost was quite reasonable since they were all packaged in one large box. Unfortunately there was some small damage. The locomotive headlight was loose but working- no problem at all. A Weaver box car has a broken truck assembly that will need replaced. The boxcar is a lower end car that wasn't out of the box for pictures. Its quite possible that it was broken before shipping. I still feel I got a fair deal and am looking forward to participating again.
