A word about buying used models on Auction Sites: This year there seems to be more of our models up for auction on ebay than in recent years. Our 3rd Rail brand of models date back 29 years, to 1992, far beyond our ability to stock or restock parts. In many cases the source for these parts is long gone and the people who were familiar with them are gone too. Buying from Auction you run the risk of the model not being packed properly and damaged severly in shipping, or worse, missing critical parts. We cannot service older electronics and we do not offer upgrading. But we do sell through Electric Railroad Upgrade Kits and a list of great installers. Please see below where you can have your older models serviced or upgraded. We want you to enjoy the models we have worked so hard to create and we will continue to service our customers the best we can. But a business cannot support itself fixing used models bought from 3rd party sellers. We do not have the staff for this. We staff for warranty service and repairs. So use caution when you buy a used model from many years back. It might not be something that can be fixed. Our labor rates for out of warranty repairs are $45 / hour + Shipping and Handling + Parts, if we accept to do them. The minumum charge for parts is $20 + S&H, as we have pay people to search for the part, process your order, package and ship it out. | ||
