Mayner Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 More like a department store, probably the last of the large specialist model railway shops. I have bought on line from Caboose Hobbies both in Ireland and New Zealand and it looks like I got there just in time spending an afternoon in the shop in May
Noel Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Wow, Caboose Hobbies seem like the B&H Photo of model rail retail in USA. Seems a shame they are closing rather than selling the business on if the the reason is retirement. Their dated web site is pretty awful. http://www.caboosehobbies.com
billyboy Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Just had looksee , website not the best but prices seem ok, firesale prices?
skinner75 Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Just remember that you stand a chance of getting hit with duty on stuff coming in from outside the EU. Not funny that they include the cost of postage along with the cost of the item when working out the amount of duty you pay - typically 30% on top
Weshty Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 23% Vat add 20% customs duty for anything over €150 And €7 admin fee for An Post.
Warbonnet Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 23% Vat add 20% customs duty for anything over €150 And €7 admin fee for An Post. Correct, they can still work out slightly cheaper than buying in Europe, exchange rate permitting. Alternatively, go on well earned holiday to the states, buy locally or from somewhere like train world and get shipped to the hotel.
Glenderg Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Alternatively, go on well earned holiday to the states.... Whilst I can't comment on how well earned or not it is, what are your "train mule" fees like? Kadee 10.5 mm wheelsets in particular...
Warbonnet Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Whilst I can't comment on how well earned or not it is, what are your "train mule" fees like? Kadee 10.5 mm wheelsets in particular... Fly home tomorrow dude, sorry!
