Posted by spankybird on Thursday, October 20, 2005 7:55 AM
Looks like Olsen Toy Train has a new web page. [8D]

http://www.olsenstoytrainparts.com

It looks like the liberay part is not complete yet, but you can now order on line. [:D]

I like to order on the phone as I know who I talked to, and you have confidence you're going to get what you wanted.

I have tried on several occasions to order from these folks. Constantly get the answering machine. I tried emailing them to find out the best time to call, did so, and still get the answering machine. I call several times every week.

I have a number of parts I WANT to order from them. Hopefully before I'm dead they'll answer the phone.

This maybe why they don't get to the phone on time

thanks for the link spanky - appreciated

I've tried at all hours - I have a list of parts from their library printed out - know exactly what I need - can't get anyone to answer the phone.

Thanks Tom for the links. Got them bookmarked.

Hey Frank, where do you "hang out"? Was wondering as I might be in your neighborhood while doing my travels and would not know it. Off to OK tomorrow for a chilly visit at Bass Pro Shops while we are having record highs in NC. [:(]

Chief - if you make your way to Sarasota, Florida in your travels I would greatly enjoy hooking up for a meal and a chance to shoot the breeze. Please let me know if you're ever going to be in the area.

You should consider taking your wife on a nice Florida vacation to the west coast cheif. We've got great beaches, beautiful weather, hobby shops, great restaurants, did I mention hobby hsops?

Besides, I could use some help with my benchwork. [:-^]
