Terms & Conditions

(The Fine Print!)

All items are for sale. Most are one of a kind and are subject to prior sale. Let us know what you are interested in; we will reply with the shipping cost and will hold the item for you until payment is received. You can do that by clicking here.

Use the Web Site Index at the left to navigate around this site. Just click on a category of interest to go to that page. Featured items are shown bolded. For convenience, the index is available on almost every page.

Photographs. Clicking on a photo link will take you either to a picture or to a page of small photos (thumbnails). Clicking on a thumbnail will bring up a larger photo. There is a navigation bar at the top of these pages, allowing you to move from one picture to another. Or, use the arrows at the top-right corner. To return to the page of small photos from any large photo, click on the icon in the small circle to the left of the header bar at the top of any large photo page. To return to the web site main page from the small photo page, click on the icon in the small circle to the left of the header bar at the top of small photo page. Not all items have photos and these will be provided upon request.

Shipping. Prices do not include shipping. This varies with the transportation service, weight and destination, and will be quoted upon request. Shipping may include the cost of packing materials; occasionally a small amount and usually nothing. Exceptions are large, bulky items and items requiring special packing. Books and printed matter that qualifies will go via Media Mail. Anything else weighing 13 ounces or less will go via First Class Mail and anything heavier will go via Priority Mail. Parcel Post is a few cents less that Priority Mail and can be used at the buyer’s option. If you prefer UPS, Fed Ex or some other service, just let us know.

Handling. There are no “Handling Charges.” “Handling Charges” are nothing but a rip-off. We have to “handle” the stuff even if we throw it away!

Insurance. Insurance is highly recommended but for most items is not required. Exceptions are breakable and/or expensive things. It’s your choice, but if insurance is declined, the buyer assumes the risk of loss or damage in transit.

Payment. We accept checks, money orders and cash (sent at your risk). No Pay Pal. Payment is expected within 7 days of order confirmation.

Items are usually shipped within two days after payment is received, but we retain the option to wait for checks to clear.

Satisfaction is guaranteed. If you are not pleased with your purchase, please let us know and return the item within 5 days of receipt for full refund less shipping charges. Returned items must be received in the same condition as when they were shipped. Photographs and negatives - because they can be copied - are not returnable. Please e-mail us prior to returning an item by clicking here.

More items will be added from time to time, so check back often.

Note: Is that collectible item listed in an online auction really what it seems? Join the Railroadiana Mailing List and engage in lively conversation about fakes, frauds, "fantasy pieces" and of course the Real McCoy. The Railroadiana List [RRDIANA] is an Internet mailing list devoted to the exchange of information among people interested in collecting, buying or selling items of railroad interest.

The Ancient Chicago Area Railfans page gives you a look at railfanning in the 1940’s together with some of the participants. All these men were south side Chicago residents, spent a lot of time together and were members of the Railroad Club of Chicago. Clicking on the link will bring up thumb nail views. Click on any one of them to see the larger version. Use the navigation bar at the top to move from one picture to another and return to the web site by clicking on any item in the Index. If you knew any of these men, YOU are older than dirt!
