I was check wholesaletrains.com for their weekly specials, and there was so much Frisco stuff I figured I'd give you guys some links to check out. I figured someone on here might like to know this. http://www.wholesaletrains.com/Detail.asp?Scale=HO&SPECIAL=0&offset=700&ID=200820143 http://www.wholesaletrains.com/Detail.asp?Scale=HO&SPECIAL=0&offset=700&ID=200820142 http://www.wholesaletrains.com/Detail.asp?Scale=HO&SPECIAL=0&offset=725&ID=200802093 http://www.wholesaletrains.com/Detail.asp?Scale=HO&SPECIAL=0&offset=725&ID=200802092 http://www.wholesaletrains.com/Detail.asp?Scale=HO&SPECIAL=0&offset=825&ID=200802024 http://www.wholesaletrains.com/Detail.asp?Scale=HO&SPECIAL=0&offset=825&ID=200802023 http://www.wholesaletrains.com/Detail.asp?Scale=HO&SPECIAL=0&ID=200453897 http://www.wholesaletrains.com/Detail.asp?Scale=HO&SPECIAL=0&offset=25&ID=200453890 http://www.wholesaletrains.com/Detail.asp?Scale=HO&SPECIAL=0&offset=75&ID=200802106 http://www.wholesaletrains.com/Detail.asp?Scale=HO&SPECIAL=0&offset=75&ID=200802105 http://www.wholesaletrains.com/Detail.asp?Scale=HO&SPECIAL=0&offset=100&ID=200823628 http://www.wholesaletrains.com/Detail.asp?Scale=HO&SPECIAL=0&offset=100&ID=200823627 http://www.wholesaletrains.com/Detail.asp?Scale=HO&SPECIAL=0&offset=100&ID=200823627 http://www.wholesaletrains.com/Detail.asp?Scale=HO&SPECIAL=0&offset=125&ID=200453873
Hate to see a lot of Frisco stuff on the sale and clearance lists! Though we will enjoy the bargains short term, it might mean they had trouble selling Frisco items and thus might not want to do more SLSF. We had that problem with the Athearn Genesis F3's - they made a lot of them, and it took a long time to move them out. You still see a lot of unused ones on the various lists and on eBay. I understand that put a bias in Athearn's mind about doing Genesis Frisco F7's. Too bad for us! Ken
You are right about that, Ken. I wouldn't have to convert any of my F3s to F7s if they had sold them. Terry
They always have sales like that...I don't think it's such a bad thing. I mean the list of stuff in this week sale is like 36 pages.
I have found that Wholesale Trains is about as cheap a place to buy from regularly, but these sale prices are fantastic. I have three engines reserved (two Frisco GP15s and a BNSF SD70ACe all dcc) because they were so much cheaper than the other suppliers I have used. The only issue I had with them was a ridiculous backorder shipment that cost more in shipping than the item cost. I let them know I didn't want them shipping any more back orders to me. Thanks, Terry
I agree about the backorders...I have thought about seeing if they could hold items until multiple are ready to ship.
