Micro-Trains - N Scale Items.

In this section we will offer to you, our customers, a vast assortment of N scale quality products from Micro-Trains.  We will also be offering for sale MTL items that we have collected over the past 30 years.  Some items will be sold individually and occasionaly full collections will be offered.  A number of Hard-to-find and Limited Edition items will also be made available for your perusal.

We pride ourselves in supplying "Collector Quality" products. If we have any items, that we designate as not Collector Quality, we will advise the condition of these items on each Product Page so that you are made fully aware of the items condition prior to purchasing.

In addition to our New MTL Dealer Items and our own Collection Items we offer for sale MTL items that have been carefully selected from respected collector sales locations and limited independent personal collections.  We strive to only sell the following two Grade-Level Items.  The grading of SCC items is determined by the individual quality level of each item and individual item grading is at the sole-discretion of the Seller. 

Grade I  --  New/Mint/Exceptonal Quality:
Items that are brand new direct from the Manufacturer.  Also items that appear to be new, complete with all the correct packaging, without evidence of being altered, and no evidence of item wear from running on any layout (with the exception of locomotive running test possibilities).  Price tag (If appropriate) is intact and correct; box is in good condition and appropriate for the item period.  All parts are correct for the specific item.  Slight shelf wear or small pressure cracking of box or lid may be evident.

Grade II  --  Very Good to Excellent Quality:
As in Grade I, but may demonstrate slight evidence of age including discoloration of Price Sticker, Insert Labels and slight yellowing of box and lid.  As well as minor cracks found in the box and lid.

We are extremely pleased to be a fully Authorized Dealer for "Micro-Trains Line Co." products.

If you need an item, that we do not list to fill that vacant spot in your collection, feel free to contact us by email and perhaps we can order this item for you or we may be able to offer alternate solutions for locating your item.
