(LVRR) 20th Century Hobbies Newsletter

Hi railfans-

IF YOU DIDN'T NOTICE THE LAST NEWSLETTERS BIG NEWS!!!
We finally have our new web site ready for customer ordering or just looking 
around.  It has a "shopping cart" feature for ordering, a search 
engine for a variety of search criteria such as: manufacturer, 
roadname, model type, scale, and others.  It has secure credit card 
entry system and other wonderful gimmicks.  It probably also has some 
glitches in it that we haven't discovered even though we have beat 
the devil out of it in testing, so let us know if you come across 
any of them so we can fix them.  We are attacking the "spelling" 
errors as fast as we find them, so be patient.

We will be supporting both web sites for a three month time period and 
at that point, if everyone feels comfortable with it, switch over 
entirely to the new one. We would also like your comments on the new 
site.  Feel free to send us your opinion, good or bad.  Thank you. 
You can find it at:

Please bookmark it for future use.

New things in stock and new "stuff" coming soon.
