I just got off the phone with Jeff as I placed my order, he is the best!!! But he told me that this is the busiest he has ever been, Said he had 30 phone orders today, He has been getting up to 40 per day and had to hire a helper. This pandemic has all us guys home working on trains. Its not just us, many repairmen from stores are placing orders. I am so happy for him, he is the nicest guy. I just am finding it so fascinating that he is basically doing 150-175 orders a week for the past few months. I though it was just worthy of discussion.

I called a dealer Saturday to order an MTH item. He said ever since the closing announcement, the orders for MTH stuff have been through the roof. So I guess some folks are getting MTH stuff while they can.
Jeff Kane deserves all the kudos he gets.
Always had great service just call and if he has it it is out the door the next day. Thank You so much for your great service.
Jeff is fantastic to deal with.
Great guy in the corner of the orange hall if i remember correctly
I found Jeff's website looking for parts for an old ZW, I was really surprised at the availability of the parts I was looking for, his shipping was extremely quick as well.

Always helpful excellent service over the years.
Jeff is great, been using him for years. I email him my order and he returns email with cost and ships parts. Can't be any easier! Lenny J
It just shows that there alot of trains out there and guys are having fun running and repairing.
Jeff is easy to deal with and provides great service. I refer people to him and Bill at S&W all the time. They are both two of the best.
I recommend Jeff for his well stocked inventory, reasonable pricing, quick shipments, customer service and personality.
Very easy to deal with, I have often tried to explain what I need and he listens until we both know what I need.

I agree with kudos to Jeff Kane. Always very helpful and quick to ship. His love of trains is obvious.
Jeff is my go to guy for parts. Hands down great service & fast shipping every time I deal with him.
Agree with all the above....stay safe all,better days are coming....
I have been buying parts from Jeff for many years. He has an excellent inventory, he’s extremely helpful and he ships orders normally the next business day. He is definitely the number one parts supplier in our hobby.

Jeff is extremely knowledgeable and will direct you to the right part or technique to fix your train. I have used his parts service with great success. I highly recommend him.

Jeff who?
Yep, My local hobby shop has told me the same thing. They've been extremely busy since mid March, he was open for curbside pick up.
Jeff Kane is a class act.
I am a fan of Jeff as well. Very friendly and helpful.
I have been doing business with Jeff for about 15 years. He is great!
I think he has a larger customer base than the manufactures themself's.
first time I"ve heard of him, does he have a web site?
I have been a customer of his for 19 years, Feb 2001. He is great, plain and simple and I have learned so much from him.
Jeff is a class act. I never go anywhere else unless Jeff doesn't have it!
Great minds think alike. Totally agree with all of the compliments about Jeff.
Hands down Jeff is one of the best in the business!! Could not ask to meet a nicer person. Lionel parts and service could sure take a lesson from Jeff on how to treat your customers!!
Ditto for all the praise. He treats his customers exceptionally well.
A 'bump' for Jeff. I haven't dealt with him for a while and sent him an email order last night. I hope all is well with him during these crazy times!
Jeff and his group are a very professional organization!

Placed and received a fairly large order for parts from Jeff about 2 weeks ago and he was doing fine although incredibly busy. As always received my order in great time even with the USPS slow down. I have been dealing with Jeff for several years now and in my opinion he has a superb inventory of parts and is one of the finest gentlemen I have dealt with in the toy/model train industry. He is knowledgeable, fair, honest and courteous. If you need parts seek out Jeff.
I placed a order with him on Sunday, its in my mailbox now...love it. He had Madison Hardware parts for my General loco..
Jeff is a class act all the way, glad to see he's keeping busy. I hope he enjoys continued success and good health for a long time to come.
You just can't say enough good things about Jeff!
I echo the many nice compliments regarding Jeff. I used to worry about having the proper parts to repair an item -- now all I have to remember is Jeff's phone number. A remarkable asset to our hobby!
Jeff is the best parts guy in the industry. I've dealt with others, and most don't come close to the service Jeff provides.
And he's not just a parts picker--he knows what the parts are for and if there are variations. He sent me photos of two parts that were slightly different but had the same LIONEL p/n so that I could get the correct one. And he did this for a $1.25 part!
What a resource.
