    You should have got my order yesterday. I really don't need another car, but the money is for a great cause.

    If every one on here would give just a few dollars a year for all the information that is available here, then the bills would be paid without any trouble.

    Okay I'll get off my soap box.

    :happy:

    How true, We have over 25,000 members. If 15,000 people gave $1 per year, just one single dollar per year, we would be all set for an awesome server with all the bells and whistles and that would mean we could bring more to you, such as super image hosting, etc.

    Maybe someday.

    UPDATE

    Here's another update folks. It has been about 24 hours since we posted the announcement and the numbers are as follows.

    34/300

    That's how we are going to post the numbers from now on. 300, of course, is the total number of these cars that will be brought into existence.

    I want to thank all of you folks for ordering blindly, not knowing what you are even getting. Let me reassure you folks and prospective purchasers that we believe that this will be a neat addition to all layouts.

    Here's a hint as to what it is: One of the states that this car could be seen is, is M____________. Of course, that's not the only state.

    It's going to be at least a couple of days before we tell you what it is going to be because we are still finalizing with MT. I would sure like to get up to 75 orders before we announce. These numbers would give me great confidence. If we get 75 orders blindly, (then the cost goes up $2) and then we get 75 orders after it is announced, we would be at 150 and then in the months leading up the actual arrival we would continue taking orders.

    Can we do it? We'll see.

    -------

    I've received several messages asking about ordering a way other than PayPal. Remember, you can order using a credit or debit card without being a member of PayPal. Otherwise, you can send a check for $33.90 to the following address:

    TrainBoard.com
    240 Davis Road
    Alexander, Maine 04694


    If you do send a check, remember the following:

    1) Send me a private message and I will mark a car as being sold to you.
    2) When the check is sent, include your shipping address and your TrainBoard username.

    -------

    International orders, send me a private message.

    Thanks folks,

    Charlie

    Just ordered mine. Can't say that I ever ordered a special run car sight unseen before, but I can't imagine a better reason to start.

    Add one more to the list :) It's kinda neat really: I know I'm getting something great, but I have no idea what it's going to be-I like the suspense and anticipation.
