just wondering whats the deals around hope they dont cut my thred for asking price (latly things are getting bump out)
have you seen a deal or a must have
who dosent love a new deal on a train

[selector]

If you are talking about trainworld.com, I haven't seen a better deal, but I don't linger on ebay....there are good deals there, as well. Caveat emptor in any case.

[Budliner]

I never know what you guys can find so I just try to see
yes ebay is good but now a days its harder and harder to find deals its a lot of fast talk and no nice products
looks like trainworld1 is the store to beat
but sometimes the deals can be found'

Shops on the web advertise GREAT deals a lot. Then when you go to check stock on it, it's usually not available. This is more so about a certain road name you might want, instead of a switch or box of flex track that your looking for.(where did you get a quote of $97 for Peco flex track?, I would hope that was for a box of 40 peices or so). Track is a comodity and is usually available at most sites at a competative price. My best advise is to do a Google search for what your looking for and shop around.(REMEMBER-because a store has a great price, doesn't mean they have it in stock).

The next one I get.

[joeyegarner]

I get more things cheaper on ebay!!

[jecorbett]

I bought one and I think it's a great deal. I'm thinking of buying another one. It has QSI sound. It compares favorably to the M1A I bought at my LHS for almost twice the price.

The Wal-Mart cars, trucks, tractors and train sets. Hope there is more on the way.

looks like this list is very thin
its just to much work to get
the detail we want
I did see some MIT people working on some new technology
not the information explosion
but the manufacture explosion
like laser cuters and tools to connect to the computer
I cant find the info
but I seen a documantry on the discovery ch
I want to make some streamliners and this vacume fourm from the sixtys is not goung to cut it can someone speed up the technology im in a hurry
we got the styreen we got powerfull computers ploters the cuters are on the way
THIS JUST IN mit can paint the computing power on the wall
true its not P4 power but it works and it can be done so you dont see too much new from the manufactures
dont worry we will be making our own very soon
just check your local collage for info and watch the fun begin
domt beleve me just check out the smallest steam engin ever
no valves, no moving parts yet it shoots the boat across the street
I give $10 to the first (person) to get this to power a ho model

Holly Lobby sometimes marks down train sets. I saw a Life Like Proto 1000, engine, three cars caboose, track, train station and power pack. Listed at 99 then dropped to 45 and last price was 33. Everyone needs three of four of those. At least that is what I told my wife. I did catch a few of the cars at Wal-mart, Missed the train sets and tractors though. Phil

thanks guys was that hobbie lobbie of holly lolly

[canazar]

What about one of the BLI Switchers, the SW7 or NW2 (?) I have seen I think 2 places (trainsworldas one of them )selling them for 129.99. It seems too good. Anyone else out there?

[MisterBeasley]

M.B. Klein at http://www.modeltrainstuff.com often gets overlooked when people are raving about Trainworld. Their prices are often just as good, and they have a different selection. Both Kleins and Trainworld have "blowout" prices on discontinued items, like those S1's. You might find different roadnames at each store, so shop around. I think Kleins has a better selection of things other than locomotives, like DPM building kits.

I've ordered from both, and I've been happy with the products, shipping and particularly the prices.
