I need to pick up a few pieces of Rokuhan track and flex track and preferably get it here by next weekend to finish a project for someone. Would Z track be the quickest shipper? Seems like most retailers take a few days to even process orders. Any recommendations. I am in Maryland. Thanks

Finding Rokuhan is sometimes tricky. I would guess maybe best stock would be zscalemonster.com or zscalehobo.com or maybe NScaleSupply.com . I think hobo would be your best bet to get it out the door fast, but of course he's on the other side of the country from you. I bet he would still beat the other two by a day at least. I would definitely call to make sure wherever you choose is actively shipping. Small shops like that could have life events get in the way at times.

Will reach out to them Monday. |

You might also consider ztrackcenter.com for Rokuhan track in stock. I recently went into the physical store at nscalesupply.com and was somewhat disappointed with the selection of Rokuhan track they had in stock. (They have a bunch of AZL items that are out of stock other places, though).

You could try PlazaJapan. You may well find they are quicker and cheaper than other US, UK, or EU suppliers.

If you need it by next weekend, you definitely either want to go with us, or one of the US dealers you mentioned. We are actually the wholesale distributor for Rokuhan in North America and supply the US dealers mentioned. So either way, it is ultimately coming from us.  We did just get a new shipment in from Rokuhan and are sending out dealer orders this upcoming week. What kind of flex track are you looking for? Atlas is back ordered until 3rd QTR of this year (and we are out of stock). BTW.. for those who want to purchase overseas, if you have problems, even though we are the US representative, we wont' support these products. We only support products purchased through us, and our authorized dealer network. Just something to keep in mind. Rob www.ztrackcenter.com |

Zscalehobo (Frank) is crazy fast at communicating and shipping.Just tell him you need it shipped priority mail or whatever is his fastest way.

What exactly are you looking for? Post a list of what you need. You never know maybe a local Z scaler will have it on hand.

Thanks guys, really an amazing group of people here and appreciate the offers for assistance. I was able to get an order in with frank at zscalehobo and he is already shipping out tomorrow am. Great communication indeed! Should have everything I need. Thanks again for the help!
I used to go to MB Klien, modeltrainstuff.com in emergencies as they are (or were) about an hours drive away. I just found out they closed and read the whole story why. Sad tale. I really liked going there when the original store was up and they had thier displays out and was reminiscent of going to the train store with my father 35 years ago.

PlazaJapan has provided better customer service and support than dang near any company I've ever dealt with. Especially any in the model railroading realm, doubly so regarding Z, with maybe the exception of Frank and Anthony. So, your warning is "noted". But honestly, I'd be more inclined to go to them with something I purchased from the US distrubutor. They'd probably still try to help. That's how good they treat their customers...sort of scary actually. |
