Posted by thatboy37 on Thursday, March 23, 2006 8:13 PM
do any of you guys know by chance where i can find one of these ferris wheels. i know that im a year or two late for this item but im putting a fair section on my layout when i can find the right person to build my layout for me. i have everyother fair including all the midway booths that they came out with but lacking the ferris wheel. if any of you guys know of anybody having one and wants to sell it please contact me @ thatboy37@hotmail.com or at this forum im online most of the day. also im trying to find someone to design a layout for me. if i can get it designed was wondering if you guys would like to help me build it and possibly start a train club here in memphis since we lack one here. i want say lack one here but the guy at the only hobby shop that specilizes in o scale tells me that we dont have a club here. sp if any of you are interested in this idea and would like to help please let me know. im getting a house built and it want be finished until the end of may which is a peak time for traveling and vacations. i yfou guys have layouts that are close to me you really dont have to be close im willing to travel to get pointers and ideas from guys who have been into this hobby well before i was born '79 or there after. if you can help please let me know.

When I'm looking for something, like the Ferris Wheel, I make up my own mass mailing email. I then send the email to say five or six train stores, maybe more, and I usually get one or two responses.

After saying this, I will tell you that there are some retailers that don't answer their emails. Their claim is that they receive too many and don't have the time. I guess they don't have time for my business and I wished they would take their email address off of their web site.

Use the internet to get the addresses and save them in your address book when the occasion arises again.

All the amusement park rides on my small layout are made by "Mr.Christmas". Not only are they 1/3 to 1/2 the price of Lionel...they take up much less "ground space". The only drawback, for some people, is that scale varies from item to item. This is not a problem for me, however. By the way, a Parachute Jump ride will be released in August, and I can't wait to get one. Joe

These Ferris wheels were beibg blown out about two years ago for $90.
I should have bought some and listed them on ebay?

me to if i would have known i would have boughta couple and listed them on ebay myself to. but unfortunatly i just got into oscale the end of november of '06. nscale was mt thing until i my lady convinced me to get into the bigger trains. reason why i was getting fustrated all the time cause my nscale was always jumping track, and afte a few times of that i just leave them alone for a few days. plus i thought about once i get a little older im not going to be able to see the nscale and put them back on the track to get it running again. so far i think that i've made a good investment in the osclae trains.
