Side Track is the best! I have never been to their store, but I have dealt with Al for for the last few years. He and his team have the absolute best shipping in the industry. Shipping box in a box shipping has been the norm. And a bonus pen and a signed receipt. I’ve purchased many Lionel Corp tinplate engines, cars, track and accessories plus Lionel O. Al is the perfect gentleman and a fascinating guy to speak with. A longtime if not an original MTH dealer, he and his bride pretty much helped launch LGB in the USA following a visit to Germany, Visiting Al is a bucket list item right up there with visiting Disney World. I hope to meet Al before Mickey.
