Greetings,

I have ordered through them before. I highly recommend them.

I bought a Rivarossi 2-8-2 Great Northern Mikado.

It was the lowest price and it was well packed and arrived to my front door.

I have been wanting this locomotive for years.

I've ordered my BLI J1e from there, and have SF #3751on pre-order from them. They're alright. Package came in good shape. Everything was fine. No billing problems either.

I ordered my Santa Fe CF7s from them, and my experience from them has been great. Great prices. I recommend them.

Take care,

All the Way!

I have to give them a thumbs up also. I bought my BLI Class "A" and my Riv FEF-3 from them and was very pleased. In each case, I got the locomotive 2 days after ordering it, and that was regular UPS ground! I will do business with them again. By the way, what paint scheme are you ordering? Everyone I have met seems to have bought basic black, yet I went with the 2 tone gray. Am I nuts? Aren't we all? Enjoy!

Good Luck, Morpar

Trainworld has far better prices on Spectrum; they are regular advertiser in MR. Every experience I've had w/ them over the years has been great.

I went with the two tone gray and also the black & light graphite.

I really impressed with these upgraded versions after being burnt by the older FEF,
