Lionel, Atlas, Williams and Weaver all have ‘clubs’.
I see with Williams you get 20% off on their products. I know Lionel’s LRRC does not offer discounts (but the on-line stores do). How about Atlas and Weaver? Do their clubs offer discounts?
Anyone a member of any of these ‘clubs’?
The Williams CLub is OK. It is the only one I belong to. You get a “free” freight car, or caboose with your membership and get the mailings. It goes for about $25. It is good for getting some cars and the occasional engine, but you can get better pricing at some of the dealers like Ma and Pa junction. I am not sure about the other clubs.

I joined the Williams club only because for a total of $30, I got the CNJ Box car I wanted.
The discount is just a bonus!!! Seems like for the cost of a railcar it was worth it.
