Still nothing. Williams says they sent it.

Got mine today - my daughter was thrilled by those big 2 page pics of the girls train reproduction!  Thanks Williams and anyone else involved in getting me this great catalog.  I noticed it was a $5 value for FREE, too!  Can't beat free.  Chuck, those silvery cars sure are sharp.  I think you have their GG1 with some Madison cars?  How is it holding up?

Jim....Williams GG1 and Madison cars are doing fine. They run great. And they go thru 0-31 tubular track and switches without a problem. GG-1 has a lot of pulling power and is heavy.

Received my Williams catalog today. Very nice, and a marked improvement over the gigantic fold-out mailers of the past that were so hard to view easily.

The back cover of my catalog was pretty well beaten up by the USPS, but that's pretty much the norm, so I'm not overly bothered.  Nice to see such a big catalog coming from the folks at Williams.

Yes, their direct order prices are higher than those offered by Ma & Pa, JusTrains, and some other retailers, but that's to be expected and it certainly doesn't bother me in the least.  They are protecting their dealers while still offering the option of ordering direct (which I have done once or twice in the past).  Frankly, I would like to see other manufacturers offer a similar option, and my guess is theat we'll see that at some point in the future as the hobby continues to "consolidate."

In any event, I'll spend some time this evening going through the catalog, and I am grateful for Williams having sent it.

Yes, I received on in the mail a few days ago.  There's some nice stuff in it.  I'm not sure what I will order from it yet.

This was a surprise because I don't remember ever giving William's my name and address

 I got one also, it is my understanding that they purchased the addresses from the TCA.  Do you belong to that group?

I was plesently surprised to recive a catalog also. A lot of it is still out of my price range, but they are still a lot more reasonable than other companies. I will probly join the platnum club just to get a freight car. My girls love the girls set too.

Finally got mine. Pretty much a rehash of last year's catalog. A few new things, but not many. I think a GG1 is going to be our next Williams purchase.

I received two at home - one with my customer number and the other as a TCA member.

Got my catalog yesterday. I will probally order an NW2 and an extra motor set for my F7 Santa set, the transformer needs to be near half power or better to get the locomotive moving as it only has one motorized unit out of three F7 diesels and six passenger cars.  Maybe a couple of sound units for a diesel a have.

Like Bob K. mentioned I hope that I don't get another catalog being a TCA member.

^ A curious reaction. I'd imagine if you were among the persons I've represented who had personal information sold to third parties, who then sold it to someone else, with terrible consquences, you'd sing a different tune.

Since it is train related I don't have a problem with it... now if I could get Scenic Express to mail me a free catalog, that would be cool!

Now if CTT had sold my info to say a non-train related manufacturer then I would be a bit miffed.

Brent, order one thing from Scenic Express and I think you get the catalogs for life.

Thanks Buckeye!  I'm gonna wait till I'm in the new house (fewer temptations to spend money)... but after June there's no holdin' back!

Wife just called and asked what we are doing this weekend... my response 'We are going to the B&O Museum tomorrow.' 'Oh yeah... ok... but don't expect me to have fun.' - She'll have a blast and she knows it! I may even be nice and put a smile on her face before we leave for the museum!  LOL!!!

Received mine today.  It's been a long time since purchasing any Williams products.  While at York, going to stop by the Williams booth and give them another look.  The Golden Memory 2356 Southerns look like they need a new home---mine.

JusTrains offers very fast, FREE shipping on all Williams products. They also have the lowest prices I've found. I've bought from them and highly recommend!
