I emailed island trains yesterday about an item still being available. Guess what they called me on the phone to say they are no longer made.
WOW a phone call in this day and age.
Oh yeah it was Electro coupler upgrade

Bought my first set of Lionels from Island Trains 10 years ago. I wanted a train for under the tree for my newborn sons first Christmas. We’ve had a layout under the tree every year since. I’ve ordered several things from them over the years with good service.
I started ordering from Island about 15-16yrs ago. That was back in the days when you called them…no Internet. I had many sucessful orders from them in the past ordering the LTI stuff through the phone. Great prices and fast free shipping. Personally, the last few times I got a little frustrated with the Internet ordering but they have the best prices period and I order from them.
The ONE place that I do bash (and tell every train person) I can about is that Charles Ro Supply place in Mass. I actually received unprovoked threats and extreme foul language from them on my 1st order back in 1993. I was completely blown away by what happened to me and sill shocked to this DAY with that transaction. I never ordered from them again and never will order from them again. If some mentions Charles Ro…I tell them to call Island.
Hi
I only order twice from Ro and had no problems but they do give you the feeling of they are doing you a favor by selling trains.

That’s not very nice, Scott. Merry Christmas.
Whats not very nice? Me telling the truth about them. My blood is still boiling…after 12 years.
It is not nice to denigrate an entire city because you are angry at one store.
