shout out to "the train tender" jeff kane

Jeff is the best. I truly think he has my parts on the way before I get off the phone with him.

The train Tender has all your needs a has Great response time to my every order .Jeff has aways taking GREAT CARE of Me!

I live in California. I always use Jeff for parts orders, though I'm sure there are closer parts suppliers to me. Shipping is very reasonable and fast. Jeff is very knowledgable and will suggest alternate parts scenarios to get you where you need to be.

If you want it done right the first time, call Jeff.

I agree, Jeff is one of the best. When I worked at a train store, he was my go to guy for parts.

that's the truth!!

I think Jeff is a certifiable nut.

And I say that with respect and admiration, and the wish that there were a lot more guys just like him in the hobby.

I'll give him a thumbs-up, never been disappointed in his service.

I regularly purchase parts from Jeff. Great service, reasonable prices and postage.  I always enjoy talking with Jeff. I hate to think all of his time I have wasted talking about train parts. 

He will be at York, back in the corner.....running around like a lunatic! but getting things done and slinging parts!

I placed an order last Sunday and it came on Friday, all the way to Tacoma! I like to order multiple items and when possible, use the bulk pricing, especially for the smaller, common parts.  

W are fortunate to have Jeff in our hobby. 

Jeff, Jeff who?

I know everyone has already said it. But Jeff is the best, he will take the time to walk you threw what you need when your a rookie and don't know what the hell your doing! My hat is off to him and to everyone who is smart enough to contact Jeff!

Plus 100  He is so easy to work with.  will help you figure stuff out and make sure you get the right parts.

This kind and patient man has helped me out at every turn.  I am (was) indeed a rookie rebuilding a set-up that my father started in the 50's.  He went out of his way to assist me ... advise me .... teach me.

Great reviews for this parts dealer.

This would make for a fun road trip.

Google Maps has me driving through Canada.

Jeff is my go-to for parts!  Service and help second to none.  

Hey!  Here's another shout out to all RE: Jeff at the Train Tender.  He helped me with getting a 6008141055 Smoke Resistor.  He has 'kits' for these liquid smoke units as well.  Jeff is just plain terrifc! And service..... top notch!

Here's my thumbs up, great guy

From the lurker photo above, looks like he might have a pretty nice layout in that barn too.

I'd like to jump in and say that Jeff is first class.  I've ordered from him several times.  He answers email messages quickly.  He sends stuff out on the Lightning Bolt Express, it seems.  His website is concise and easy to navigate.  

Your head getting big yet, Jeff.....LOL

For what it is worth,  his business is mail order / train show only and does not serve customers from his location.

Just contacted Jeff for some parts for a pre-war restoration project. He got back to me right way and has what I need.

Now that George Tebolt is dropping retail, I'll look to The Train Tender for the bits needed. Been buying from George for twenty years, but I understand the need to dial it back. Next man up...

PD

Jeff is, and has been fora while, the new era Madison Hardware for train parts. Maybe a cut above as MH didn't stock American Flyer parts as he does.

I'll jump on the bandwagon and add my

He's been Outstanding for me as well!

 I’ve been dealing with Jeff for many years. Every experience has been a pleasure. It really helps that he has no minimum order. He is a great guy to talk with and deal with.👍👍👍👍👍

Jeff just helped me out on a 2046 steamer project that has been sitting on my shelf for years. He had all the parts I needed and he even sent me the relevant exploded diagrams to make sure we were talking about the same thing.

Above and beyond service! 5 star rating!
