MA&PA JCT AT TRAIN SHOW THIS WEEKEND!

Classic Toy Trains Forum
1

Well, let me introduce myself, I just joined tonight, I see some people who have bailed out of OGRR, due to a FEE that will start in JUNE. I have a lot of followers over there, so I have not decided wether I will abandon it or not.

I am a WILLIAMS AUTHORIZED DEALER, in BALT,MD. I’ve been selling WILLIAMS TRAINS since 1994, and proud of it. Inexpensive, reliable, LIFETIME WARRANTY!

A large percentage of my sales are through the internet, and I have a secure site, where you can order WILLIAMS,KLINE,etc.

AS a rule I do not post prices, on Forums, not really ethical. If you like to be place on my EMAIL SALE LIST, please email me (do not request it here, I may not see it.

I’ll will be at the TALL CEDARS HALL, in Balt,MD SAT 3/13. Show starts at 8:30AM, Admission is $4 adults, children under 12 free.

Take exit 31 south of I-695 Beltway, to first light Putty Hill, turn right.
Go APPROX .6 mile to hall on your left, i a small shopping center.

Gotta go pack trains! See YA.

All the Best,
MARTY
MA&PA JCT

Marty,
What other train shows do you sell at? Do you ever cross those mountains into western Pennsylvania, West Virginia or Ohio.

I’ve heard and read several good comments about you as a dealer.

I travel the circuit of the GREENBERG TOY TRAIN shows, but have stayed local last few months, due to medical reasons.

I’ll be in TIMONIUM,MD show end of this month.

Buckeye-
You won’t go wrong dealing with Marty. Hes an honest businessman who cares about his customers. It doesn’t get any better than that in my book!

Let me tell you fellows, this Marty guy is the nicest person you will ever meet. He also has a wonderful product and a great reputation.[8D]

I have recently ordered my third engine from Marty. Check out his website. Responds to e-mails, and just nice to deal with.

Marty, glad to see you posting here. Aside from the obvious advertising element, your posts often keep us all informed of what William’s is up to, when product is coming, what new road names are coming, etc. etc. No secret that you had and have the repect of many from the other Forum as you will here too.

You also once on a Wiliams related thread, have some very nice things to say about what I had written on the topic. I don’t remember the specifics, but have never forgotten your supportive thoughts.

The topic of Williams has come up over here over the months. And their simple approach with quality has been brought up here. I know there have been some who were previously unaware of Williams and we fixed that. And you’ve been mentioned too as someone to check out for Williams product.

And in my take, it’s not really a matter of this Forum versus that Forum. Just as with their respective magazines, both offer much to the hobby. And the more variety, the more who can participate, which of course is good.

I recently bought a K-Line Mikado from Marty. Enjoyed the experience.

AND I LOVE MY MIKADO!!!

Marty is #1 in my book!

Thanks all, for the support! I REALLY try hard to meet the customers needs. It is a MUST in my business. AND by that I mean MY business, not the train business.

AS it is, MA&PA JCT is ONE person. There is no MA, she (wife) could care less about the trains. So, I am the Chief “cook and bottle washer”, to say the least. AS the CHIEF,
I get to: order trains; pick up the trains at WIlliams; pack the trains; input UPS shipping on-line; answer emails; answer FAX’es; input CC charges; buy supplies; do the book work; do this;do that. And then go to train shows on week ends.

Other Co’s like JUSTRAINS, LONG ISLAND TRAINS, etc, have several employees, thousands of customers. For them to lose one customer (for what ever reason) is like a drop in a bucket. For me, 1 or 2 can be disasterous (sic?). So…I try harder (not that I wouldn’t , if I was a BIG CO.).

'Nuff said…I gotta go!

What’s happened to the Golden Memories line? No see!

12

Joe,

NO SEE…where? At their web site? Magazines? The only place to SEE the GOLDEN MEMORIES, is at their site: www.williamstrains.com; click on the GOLDEN MEMORIES catalog button. HINT: if unable to READ any files, you have to upgrade your PC system with the latest version of MICROSOFT WINDOWS.

The “other” place is the golden memories catalog itself.

No see meaning not off the slow boat from China![:0]

14

Marty, I have one complaint that you must deal with.
When I purchase a Williams engine from you I never have a chace to find it with a defect and have to send it back. You see from buying other brands I have gotten to know the friendly female UPS counter person well. I miss her. Perhaps it is a plan by my wife to keep me away from her? Marty can’t Williams stick some techno-babble into their engines so I can spend more time shipping them back for service?
I Miss Her!
[:D]

John Jr. and Marty - Funny, but when I tell my wife that I’m gonna buy another Williams train she just smiles and gives me her credit card…but if I tell her I’m thinkin’ about buying another brand, she scowels and hides her purse. I just wi***hat UPS counter babe wasn’t so attractive…(sigh)

Marty!

Glad ta see ya over here as well. Got my two Williams Western Maryland engines sitting on the bench beside me as I type. I gotta echo the same positive comments about MA & PA that the others have made. The only new motive power I’ve purchased since getting back into O guage have been Williams - 2 from Marty and one in the process from another OGR member (not a dealer). It would have been 3 from Marty, but this opportunity on OGR was too good (sorry Marty, will have to be next time). Marty’s attitude, service, and prices are all the best!

For JOE: Ahhh…Now me see what you mean. SLOW boat from China is correct, ETA for the GOLDEN MEMORY’S is now lqate APR, early MAY, give or take a week.

Droool…cant wait to get my hands on the F3’s. I saw the CP at WILLIAMS several months ago (prototype), if you sat the LIONEL/Williams Side by side, you’d swear they are twins. Just my[2c] worth!!

18

DR JOHN: Let’s see, what can we conjur up for you?..AHA! How 'bout I install a MTH PROTO 1.0 w/ a 5 year old battery in a E-7, OR SOMETHING MORE EXPENSIVE Guaranteed to pop a board or scramble the computer chip! I’ll ship you 5 of them, so when you have to call for the BIG BROWN TRUCK or FEDEX, you’ll ahve one for EACH DAY OF THE WEEK!! Yessir, I aim to please…!!![^][bow][:-^]

19

GP68: [%-)]…MMmmmmm…trying to think you might be, do not recognize the “handle”;can’t remember shipping 2 WM engines lately. [D)][:slight_smile:]
Who might you be please??!

20

For Jim Duda: Hey there JIM! I shipped the 2 add-on sets, gotm them I guess???
I like your wife’s TASTE in what YOU purchase: If it’s WILIAMS it’s A-OK, if not WILLIAMS,
well, you are [xx(] freight??

Hope your C/C has COOLED, it was SMOKIN’ the last few weeks, eh???[(-D][(-D][wow]
