Preproduction sample shown. Final item may vary in appearance. May cause a strong desire to run trains, a fanatical devotion for adherence to timetables, and the disappearance into the basement for long periods of (fast) time. |

Happy New Year! We're extending the sale! Since the Model Railroader feature on Trainfest is appearing in the February 2013 issue (which is just shipping) we've decided to give you more time to get this model at more than 10% off the SRP. Place your orders now with your preferred dealer. Remember, we don't require any money down. This ex-DW&P caboose was decorated in this snazzy bicentennial scheme as GTW #76002
We don't know if there was a #76001.
We don't know if any other GTW cabooses carried the same scheme.
We don't re-run the same road number in the same scheme so this is a one time opportunity.
SRP $44.99 Special: Order before January 31, 2013 and get it for $39.99
Available from your preferred Walthers dealer. |

This seems to be confusing people more than any other issue. So I will attempt to clarify things a bit.
1. We have nothing to do with the project.
You can go ahead and check it out now.
OK, now you know everything we know about the project.
Important: Note that we have not 'taken over the order book of CMT'
We are only offering to fill orders if you'd like us to.
But you already know that because you read the rest of our CMT Update Page.. Right? Good.
2. We don't know yet if we will be filling orders for the Pointe St Charles Caboose.
If in fact Tom / CMT complete the project, then our guess is that they will fill the orders themselves.
3. We can't return your deposits.
We didn't take your deposit, nor did we receive it from CMT. If we fill the orders, then we'll honor as much of the deposit as we can afford. Like other models we expect that to be at least 20% of the SRP, but we won't really know until they are released. If Tom / CMT is filling your order, then you will be working with them regarding your model and deposit.
4. If you want us to fill your order for the PSC Caboose or any other model ordered from CMT, you need to tell us.
OK, we have some information, but the information we have is incomplete, inaccurate, unreliable, and irrelevent. Because we won't be filling your order unless you tell us you want us to fill it. So you need to send your name, shipping address, phone number, and CMT Sales Order to modeltrains@truelinetrains.ca
But we don't have to tell you that because you already read the rest of our CMT Update Page. Right? RIGHT!?!?
Seriously, we can't honor any deposit for you if you don't provide a copy of your CMT Sales Order. We don't have a list we're working from, and if you want the model from us, you need to tell us.
That's it. It's the same as any other model pre-ordered from CMT that you'd like us to try to fill. |

Important note about the Canadian Set #3 We have the sets, but we have to settle up some details with Rapido. So please don't stop by the office to pick them up, we can't give it to you yet. We'll call to let you know when you can pick it up if that's what you plan to do.
We're looking for Donald Cook, Stewart Gilmer, Robert Lawton and John Storer. If you know any of these customers, please have them contact us at modeltrains@truelinetrains.ca
We learned a few things from Set #2. To keep surprises at a minimum, here's how this will work:
We have 30 sets and orders were placed for 31. Last time several people opted not to purchase their sets from us so we're hoping this won't be a problem. This is better than Set #2 where we were six sets short.
We are only offering to fill this order for you. You do not have to purchase it from us. We know there aren't a lot of other options, but this is the best we can do. We also have no problem if you should choose to purchase it elsewhere. Please do what works best for you.
We will be honoring a 25% ($375) deposit. We know that most of you paid more, and several paid in full. Again, we didn't take your order, nor did we receive that money. For various reasons that's all we can cover, and we won't be discussing it. We have a 'No Haggle' policy. We're not trying to be jerks (we probably don't have to try), just stay in business. It's entirely possible as a good customer of your preferred dealer that they might be able to work something out for you.
We must receive payment for these sets by Friday, November 16. After that we have to return any remaining sets and will not be able to fill the order for you. We are not 'cancelling' your order. We do not hold your order, and are only offering to fill it for you. After that date, we just won't be the ones to do it.
We appreciate your understanding and working with us, whether you decide to purchase the model through us or not. We understand that you may be losing money in this transaction, and we wish we could do more. |
