All About MeWhat everyone should know about me
I want you to 'RUN your classic toy trains!'
My first train was made in 1952, and is still in running condition. Experience came from owning a model train store, many swap meets, and dealing with thousands of nice people on e-Bay and in person.

Business InformationHistory/background
Encore Toy Trains is a fairly new eBay business, but I have been buying / collecting / running / repairing toy trains most of my life.
I now have a very large quantity of Lionel and other brands of trains and parts which I am listing for auction and through this store. (estimated item count: 1 million pieces; estimated weight: 20 tons) It has been delivered to me by the pallet or truckload, and has no organization or inventory list. I sell what I find when digging through my storage area. There is everything in there: NOS pre-war parts; postwar locos, cars, boxes and parts; to modern loco and car parts straight from the Michigan factory when it closed.
I hope you find what you want, and maybe a few extra things that you didn't know you needed!
Payment policy
Paypal is preferred. Money orders / cashier's checks drawn on U.S. banks are also accepted.
Shipping information
I ship the next business day after your payment clears. I usually ship via USPS Priority Mail. Larger / heavier items via Parcel Post or UPS.
Return policy
I do not expect there to be issues with the items I sell since my descriptions are detailed, complete, and honest. Photos also tell the story - I will always show any visible defects, not hide them. In the unlikely event you feel the need to return an item, please contact me via e-mail first. I will issue you a return number, after discussing the reason for your dissatisfaction. My goal is to maintain 100% satisfaction (unless a crook tries to cheat me.)
