What's In Production ?
Please Read Carefully
The info on this page is to inform our customers on the items we are working on now and in the near future. ("future" here is defined as: in the next few weeks). Instead of going to the website each day to see if something is back in stock or wondering if you will ever receive an email from the wait list, come to this page for general info. Items on this list are to help you and your purchase planning. NOTHING IS GUARANTEED.
The list below in GREEN are items that have been recently completed, are in stock, ready to order and ship out. The items in green are NOT ALL the products in stock at this particular time, it's just the most recent items. The list below in the top 10 are what our hands are working on right now. (If it is in the top 5, that tells you that they are in the paint room OR in the final stages of production.
When items hit the top 5 it also means 5-10 days before those items are back in stock and available for purchase.
11-20 are items we know you've been waiting for, and we need to start on.
If the out of stock items you are looking for are not on the list, it just means that they are further out OR you just missed the last production run of that item and are out of stock again.
We update this list every few days, so bookmark this page in your favorites and watch the "Last updated" date for any changes. Items that are further down the list are a very "general" production "need to do" list to us that may be very fluid (some leapfrogging may occur), therefore some lines are left blank. As items work their way up the list they are more likely to be next in line for production.
We always encourage you to click on the "WAIT LIST" button for a particular item. We refer to those wait list numbers when producing items. Please only sign up for items you intend on purchasing when back in stock. Our system automatically emails you when the items you sign up for come back in stock. Putting your contact info on the wait list for an item does not guarantee you that item. We are now releasing wait list emails anytime, any day. THANK YOU!

20. ( Emails have been sent to BIG BOY wait list signups into the first part of November 2024 ) Going forward we will be offering the UP 4014 Big Boy to the customers on the wait list, IN ORDER of when they signed up, beginning in July 2024. Please do not ask for special consideration to purchase a train out of order of wait list sign up. We have determined that this is the fairest way to sell the Big Boy due to the demand. There are currently over 600 customers on the wait list. Customers on the wait list will be contacted by us when the trains are available. We will give notice on this production page of which sign up months we are working on. This only applies to the 4014 Big Boy, all other wait lists for other items are on a first to order, first to receive basis after inventory gets updated and wait list emails get sent out. (Please read more about this on the Big Boy listing page description).
If your reading this page on a regular basis, text us, we want to know, is this page worth it or not? 314-393-3640
IMPORTANT INFO FOR OUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS
With the enormous amount of orders for our products over the last few years, you can tell by the out of stock items that we simply cannot keep up with demand. If you are interested in our items for special gifts you might want to grab things that are in stock as they become available and accumulate those items. PLEASE do not think for a second that you can put your shopping list off and purchase everything your little engineer wishes for all at one time.
We thank you for your support and your patience!
