Has anyone received the walthers 2019 HO/N/Z scale reference catalog yet? Just wondering if it will arrive before christmas.
Not yet. Ordered it in August. Rep said order now and get free shipping, wilh cc charge when shipped, due date in early october. sounded good to me. Well that didn't happen.
Walthers website indicated intransit a few days ago. I also checked my local hobby shop. They didnt have it yet either.

Thinking about downloading the electronic version.

We'll see if they (or other vendors) have it at this weekend's Trainfest in Milwaukee. Walthers does not sell from their booth but they usually do have the catalogs to examine.
Expect it to look different. They dropped a lot of lines this year. I have learned through experience to hang on to old catalogs if just to see what I should be looking for at swap meetings.

I'd rather see them drop lines rather than claim they are out of stock forever.

Many vendors had stacks of it for sale at the 2018 Trainfest in Milwaukee this weekend. The lowest sale price I saw was $15.
I used to get the HO Walthers catalog religiously but as time went on, what was printed was not always available - and it even said so in the catalog! My interest in it waned as online alternatives emerged. Haven't bought one in 10 years!

Read someting from Con Cor a while back that might shed some light on this- I wonder who pulled out the manufacturers or Walthers- probably a little of both
