    Well I'm glad they have a new story. The computer system excuse was getting old. Still no response to my email and no engine. It has now been a month since I ordered.

    GP-35 and GP-38 fan sizes?

    I would like to try installing some BLMA fans on two of my engines. They are an older Atlas GP-35 and a newer Atlas GP-38. Does anyone know what size fans I will need for these engines? The 35 has three larger fans and one smaller fan. The 38 has three fans which appear slightly bigger than...

    I just checked the status of my order online and the decoder I ordered is on backorder. They still have not responded to my email and did not call or email to tell me it is on backorder. The site still lists the item as available!!! Listing items as available that are not is just another...

    I'm glad you got a pleasant response at least. As for mine, 19 business days and counting, no order shipped and no email response. :curse: I dunno what I was thinking giving them a third chance!!

    I agree that a place to rate dealers would be a good idea. My purpose in starting this thread was to warn others about this store. A place on this forum with ratings and comments from other modelers would definately spare people some bad experiences. PS Still no word from internettrains.com.

    Renovo: As I said in the original post, it was the only place I could find the engine. Prodigy: The item has not shipped and it has been 17 business days. I know this because you can check the status online. That is 10 business days beyond what the site says and who knows how many more it...

    I figured since alot of people on here buy trains online they may want to know the bad experiences I have had with the company internettrains.com over the past year. I first used this company about a year ago to order the atlas track for my layout (a very common item). After paying for 2nd...

    BeezerV's N Layout

    I didnt really set out to model any particular railroad. CSX and New England Central are the only lines I get to see in Jersey and CT and I like to buy engines similar to those I have actually seen. Thanks for the advice on the turnouts. I'll pick up a new one next time I'm at the store but...

    Scale Test Car???

    Has anyone seen one of these cars in motion? I'm wondering if it is realistic to have it at the back of a mixed freight train or if I should just find a place on a siding to leave it.

    Scale Test Car???

    Thanks for the great explanation. I had never seen one before but I guess they must be fairly common.

    Scale Test Car???

    I saw this car in the store and couldnt resist buying it. However, I have no idea what it actually is. Anyone familiar with this type of car or know what its purpose is? Thanks for any info.
