YankeeDabbler store
Posted by fondo on Monday, March 7, 2011 8:43 AM

Hi all, I'm from Argentina and just wanted to leave my recommendation to Bob and Mike from YankeeDabbler train store as I recently bought them a NCE Power Cab with some decoders(all from digitrax, two with sound), kadee couplers and other track accesories as here is not so easy to find this or maybe it's at a very high price. He sent the package on Monday and at Saturday morning I's very excited trying my first experience with DCC. The package protection was perfect, and everything came in great conditions, nothing broke or missing.

I wanted to leave this here so another foreign railroaders can have it as recommendation and ofcourse railroaders in eeuu, the web page is: YankeeDabbler

Just that, hope not broke any forum rule posting this, but I thought it's good to leave my experience so another can read it. Thanks for reading!

Same here "fondo",

They are ACES in my book as well. Bought some Kadee boxcars from them a year or so ago, one of them had a factory defect in it. Contacted them and the next thing when I checked the mail I had a brand new one sent from Kadee. Their prices were also very competetive..................

I've had many business transactions with Bob in the past. Unfortunately I've not had the pleasure of working with him recently ... not because of them, but due to my own personal situation.

He runs an excellent company.  He and his family are wonderful folks and it was always a rewarding experience whenever I purchased anything from them.

There are very few vendors or companies that are as trustworthy and as conscientious as the "Yankee Dabblers" . You can rest assured that your experience will be positive.

 I recently purchased some decoders and bits plus a Bowser sound chassis for my FT from them at the Timonium show. Good to deal with.

I would highly recommend them as well. I have purchased  a couple of locos and several DCC components from the Digitrax line, always great prices, reasonable shipping cost and fast service. Wish all suppliers were this good.

I bought a Bowser F unit with DCC and sound from them at Howard Zane's Turf valley show.  Very professional and knowledgeable folks, good prices and very friendly.  I would definately do business with them again.  Top flight show retailer.

A big thumbs up from me as well.  I bought a couple of BLI steamers from them in 2007, and they arrived promptly and packaged very well.  This past December, I ordered a case of Peco flextrack on a Monday, and it was sitting on my porch two days later.  They even threw in a small gift.  Great people; I look forward to doing more business with them.

Based on this feedback I ordered few decoders to be shipped to India. Must say, they are awesome and very helpful. There prices are also quite low.

As has been stated all through this thread "Yankeedabbler" is best-of-the -best. I live in Western Canada and have come to expect: prompt, fair, and customer friendly relations.  Great service to the hobby.
