Marklin and Trix New Items for 2009

2009-02-16T19:55:00.000-05:00

About a week ago we added the New 2009 items from Marklin and Trix to our normal listings with Early Bird Preorder Pricing. While I was away last week, Walthers announced that they have LOWERED PRICES on both Marklin and Trix new items. As such, our pricing on our web site needs to be adjusted. We expect to have the revised pricing on our web site later this week. Be assured that ALL previously placed preorders will receive these lowered prices. (also) We're looking forward to a very exciting 150th Anniversary of Marklin this year. Also be aware that Marklin and Trix will not be "over-producing" their limited items this year and many will sell out long before they get delivered.

Marklin Insider Club Returns to the USA!

2008-12-15T14:44:00.001-05:00

We received VERY welcome news today when Brenda at Marklin emailed us to let us know that the Marklin and Trix Insider Club administration will return to the USA as of December 22nd. When the factory took over the administration of the Insider Clubs several years ago, it was plagued with many problems most Insiders became aware of including confusing renewal requests. We know this will end all of the problems experienced during the last few years and ask you, the current and former Insider Members, to rejoice in this change!

Marklin Sale Item List Expanded by 356 Items

2008-11-25T15:10:00.000-05:00

We've spent the past 5 days determining which items we have IN STOCK that are no longer in the 2007/08 or 2008/09 Marklin catalogs and can no longer be ordered by us from Marklin. With that information we added 356 different items in varying quantities to our on-going Marklin sale found on our website (click on title above to go there directly). In this tough economy this should make it easier for our customers to focus on EXTRA SAVINGS!

We extend our best wishes to you and yours for a Happy Thanksgiving.

Blog posting problems

2008-10-21T11:40:00.000-04:00

We've had trouble posting to our Blog due to software issues we haven't resolved yet. Our software would quit upon opening our Blog so we suspended attempts. We think we need to post "earlier" in the day before the software "develops" problems. This posting is therefore followed by a "catch-up" posting. Thanks, Bill

Marklin Summer Items & Exclusiv 2/08 Items

2008-06-26T18:55:00.000-04:00

A few weeks ago Marklin announced New Summer Items & Exclusiv 2/08 Items but there were no good images for the products. Now that we have good images and information, we've updated our listings with all of the photos and technical information. We chose to not include the new M59xxx Gauge 1 track in this list due its limited interest. Two items are particulary interesting and have already begun to sell well.
