Gargraves.. Great Folks
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, February 3, 2005 10:03 PM
This past week I needed some track pins . The kind that go from Gargraves track to O track. I need them at my 022 switches. The usual place I get them ( mail order)had them on order for 2 weeks or so they said. I called Gargraves and they were in stock and were mailed out that day. I got them 4 days later.
The nice lady that took the order did'nt want a c.c. number said they would send me a bill. Now I realize it was only $16.50 but who else does this nowdays? I think no one. I sent them a check as soon as the pins arrived . At any rate, my hats off to the nice folks at Gargraves. Next time I'll just go straight to them.Thought yall should know.....Tim

Sent them an email requesting information about an older switch & they sent me a return email requesting an address and parts were sent to me to update the switches at no charge to me. Yeah. Great folks to deal with. I use all Gargraves track & switches.

Is there a one-stop shop for Gargraves track, switches and the like? I've been to Gargraves online and their website is cludgy at best. I'm looking to build a new layout and am considering Gargraves track....but at the same time, I need to keep it economical. Any suggestions from this group on what to buy and where to buy it?

Thanks!

Matt

Matt,

Many hobby shops and online retailers carry the Gargraves line.
Shop around on the net.

Cloudy? Try here http://gargraves.com/ and use the 'dealer locator' tab.

Matt, There are several dealers that advertise Gargraves in CTT Magazine. The last I bought was from AM Hobbies. I think a full box is $ 180.00. There are some dealers on ebay that sell full or half boxes very reasonable....Tim
