Hi Andre',
That rumour about The Freight Yard simply isn't true. I've been going there for a couple of years and also happen to be good friends with the owners of the store. Nothing has ever been sent to the store that never got back to it's owner. There are a lot of N-scale club members and N-scaler themselfs who have commission work for custom runned engines and cars that are very satisfied with the work. Some times they do get backlogged with work but it does get done and returned to it's owner. They can have up to five people working together painting, decaling and custom modifications just to get the work out. Most Saturdays I'll spend most of the day there helping out. These guys are on the up and up and are very honest when dealing in bussiness. I've noticed on the internet especially, that individuals like to spread bad information around coming mostly from people from rival stores trying to bring down their competition. In a situation like that, it's best to let your own eyes, ears and mind make the judgement call, not someone who's degrading a person or bussiness who can't bring forth any factual truth to back his story up. So please don't let someone condem the store without checking it for yourself. But Andre', I can assure you that this is a honest bussiness, check it out for yourself.

Rick,
Thanks. In my case, rather let me have an email address - phoning from here is generally not very budget-friendly.
The Freightyard? Isn't that the place that there was a lot of unhappiness about on one of the N scale lists a while ago? Something about locos sent for custom decorating and never returned, and zero communication?
Regards,
Andr? Kritzinger, Cape Town.

Sorry for the delay,
I've been trying to reach my friend Jeff by e-mail about the availability
of A1G cars he might have for sale. Apparently, his computer has gotten a
virus and he's working on getting the bugger out. I hope to see him this
weekend and I'll ask if it's ok with him to post his phone number for anyone
who might be interested in calling for some cars. Also, if anyone is
interested in any other N-scale items, go to
www.thefreightyard.com and checkout the site. This is a store here in
Anaheim that specializes in N-scale only. They do custom runs of both
engines and freight cars plus they have a section of the store called Dream
Design. This is were you can design your own painting and decaling plus most
any kind of features you would like on your engine(s). Example EMD SD90 in
NYC road scheme with ditch lights and flashing becon. This would be a dream
design because NYC never had any SD90's as the company became part of
Conrail in the late 60's/early 70's. You can also come up with your own
paint scheme and they can design decals if nothing is availabile on the
market. This works on freight car runs too. check the site out when you have
the chance.
Rick
