On Tuesday afternoon I realized that I'd run out of Bettendorf trucks. I like Accurail trucks so I checked their web site. But I didn't want 50 pair of trucks and I would prefer them without wheels since I use metal ones. Sliding my eyes further down the page I found 12 pair in mineral red (wheels not included). Perfect! I can repaint them if needed.
Now what's it going to cost me for shipping? Only $1.02? How reasonable. I entered my order, got a confirmation and Wednesday morning a note from Eric that they'd been shipped. The USPS did their part too and I received them this morning (Friday). That's less than 72 hours from order to receipt. Unbeatable service!
Now, as soon as I use up my stock of Kadee couplers, I'll go back for a bulk order of Accurail Proto:HO couplers. My initial 12 pack showed me they're my preferred coupler.
