News and Comments


York TCA Meet – We will be attending the York, PA TCA Meet as usual this year, and will be returning with the new 2011 Volume 2 MTH Catalogs. If you'll be in the area, stop by the Centerline Products booth and say hello.

 

SURVEY! - We would like your input! Please send us an email with your opinion on the store being open on Sundays, and what hours you would like.

 

National Train Day – We will be at the downtown Reno Amtrak station on May 7th in celebration of National Train Day. Stop by our booth and get your $10 T-shirt. The Amtrak station is between Center and Lake Streets just north of the Harrah's parking garage.

 

Woodland Scenic Scenery – We are now carrying a much wider selection of Woodland Scenic scenery items, ranging from cement to pigments to turf. If you have any scenery items you would like us to order, let us know.

 

MTH Bridges and Lionel FasTrack – MTH RailKing bridges now accommodate Lionel's FasTrack track system. In the past, the slot for the track was too narrow to accept the wider FasTrack, but MTH has redesigned all their bridges to be compatible with Lionel's track.

 

Consignment Items! - We now have a number of consignment items available for sale in O and HO. The HO items benefit the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Carson City. These items can be found on our website under Consignment Items. If you have any items you would like us to sell, we will list them on our website, but we will not display them in the store.

 

Clean Track! - We have a full selection of Centerline Product's track cleaning cars in N, HO, S, O, G, and Standard Gauge. In today's digital world, clean track is the difference between spotty performance and smooth running. We can also recommend suitable cleaning products to make your track cleaning experience better.

 

SALES! - We have several items on special, and a full listing can be found on our website at http://renorails.com/sales.htm

 

Store Reorganization - We continue to be family owned, and the largest all-train store in the Reno area. Lilli has reorganized the store and finding the car or engine you want is now easier than ever. Take advantage of our new shipping policy: Free shipping in the USA on orders over $200.

 

Ready-To-Run Sets – The new 2011 MTH Ready-To-Run catalog is out, so take a look through it and let us know if there's a set you want. We have ordered several of the new UP SD70ACe freight sets, as well as several of the UP Steam freight sets. We also have several sets in the store:
