Blue Mountain Trains is a small, Internet-based business that is dedicated to providing the best model railroad and hobby items to the public.

Feel free to contact us for all your model railroading needs! The Fine Print: The method of shipping I use varies depending on the weight of the packed box. I will try ship your purchase via the most cost-effective form of shipping. In general, small, lightweight items that can fit into a small padded envelope will ship via First Class Mail. Books and magazines will ship via Media Mail. Packages weighing less than 4 pounds will usually ship via Priority Mail. Packages weighing 4 pounds or more will ship usually via UPS Ground. International orders will usually ship via Global Priority Mail. Be aware that some items are heavy, and may cost more to ship than you paid for it! We offer FREE shipping on any domestic purchase over $150! If you win more than one auction, I will combine them to save shipping charges. I try to ship items as soon as payment is received, but sometimes other matters interfere. International orders may take a couple days to ship, due to the fact that I cannot always make it to the post office immediately after an auction. I charge a small handling fee to cover expenses such as shipping boxes, packing material, padded envelopes, and the like. Not all items fit neatly into a USPS Priority Mail box, and may need additional packing to arrive safely at your destination. I feel this is a reasonable fee; I am not looking to make a profit from it. Shipping costs are based on the weight of the item on which you are bidding, plus the weight of the box and any packing material I may use in which to ship this item. If you purchase more than one item, the total shipping weight may be overestimated and therefore not accurate. If you do purchase more than one item, please wait until I send you an invoice to pay for your purchases. If I overestimate your shipping charges I will refund the balance, especially for payments made through PayPal. Payment by PayPal will allow me to ship your item immediately. Please respond within 3 days of the end of the auction; if you do not respond in a timely fashion, I will leave myself the option to leave negative feedback and either sell to the next highest bidder or relist the item. Due to changes in eBay payment rules, I can only offer PayPal as a payment option. Please contact me if you have any questions. If you ever have any problems with your purchase, please contact us first, before leaving feedback! We would appreciate to opportunity to fix any problems you might have. Please e-mail if you have any questions. Good Luck, and happy bidding! Foreign buyers please note: I will ship your purchase by whichever method you would prefer. The shipping charge that appears at the end of the purchase will be based on the cost of Priority Mail International. I can ship your package via First Class International if you prefer; however, I will not be held responsible if your package is damaged or lost enroute. Please note, I will not falsify customs forms for you. Thank you.
