Pre-Order FAQ - Applies to all pre-orders
The price shown is the total price. A deposit of 5% of the total price will be required at the time of pre-order. Add the item to cart to pay 5% down. When multiple pre-orders are placed at the same time, each pre-order will be invoiced as it arrives. Similarly, if pre-orders from different orders, placed at different times, arrive at the same time, they will all be paid for and shipped together.
Only billing address is entered when placing the pre-order, as in-store pickup or shipping method and address are entered only when the items are ready to ship. To ensure safety and security, note that we never store payment information. Payment is entered again by the customer at time of arrival, with any method we offer, which can be different from the method used to place the 5% deposit.
Any 5% deposit will not be refunded if the customer chooses to cancel a pre-order or doesn't make full payment when it arrives. Exceptions can be made if and only if the manufacturer, wholesaler, shipper, or us, cause any extenuating circumstances that lead us to being unable to fulfill the pre-order. These cases are extremely rare and we take great strives to assure that any pre-order placed under our 5% deposit strategy will be fulfilled fully.
Note that the estimated arrival date found near the 'add to cart' button is just that, an estimate given by either the manufacturer, or when the manufacturer does not give a date, estimated by our staff based on prior experience with that manufacturer and their release timeline. We are not responsible for manufacturers delaying releases.
Please note that pre-orders placed before the 'Pre-Order Due Date', found at the top of the description on each pre-order's product page, ensure that we reserve the desired quantities through the manufacturer before they confirm each production batch or 'run' size. Pre-orders placed after the due date are allocated strictly from extra inventory only, and therefore may or may not be available at the desired quantities or road numbers. Pre-order items that no longer have any extra inventory to reserve are shown as 'Out of stock'. To ensure you secure what pre-order items you need, place your pre-orders before their due date. Pre-orders will be accepted after their due date until extra inventory is sold out.
When your pre-orders arrive, you will receive an email requesting payment that will contain all arrived items and deduct the 5% deposit already paid. This email will bring you to checkout, where you can spend or earn points and pay with any payment method we offer. If you believe your pre-order has arrived but did not receive any email, please check your spam folder and contact us. You can always check the status of your current pre-orders by navigating to the 'Preorder Status' page which is found at the bottom of the home page. Once there, enter your email address or phone number and any order number of any pre-orders you have placed. You can also pay for any arrived pre-orders from this page. We ask that any pre-orders that have arrived are paid within 2 weeks of receiving notification of arrival. Thank you.

Product Specific Information:
The Z74 series, Pennsy’s mainstay business cars, features an intricate history marked by frequent reclassifications, renumberings, and name changes. These cars were used all over the PRR system and received several upgrades and modifications during their service life.
Several of the Z74 cars had roles in American history. For example, Car #7504 was used by President Eisenhower on October 25, 1956. Car #120 was used to carry the body of Robert F. Kennedy from New York to Washington, D.C. in June 1968. Sold to Juniata Terminal Company in 1985, it rode at the rear of the final westbound Broadway Limited run on an all-PRR route in 1990. It also operated on the last eastbound Broadway Limited run in 1995. It’s safe to say these cars were icons of the PRR system!
These cars are perfect for Pennsylvania modelers who are looking to add some style to their passenger trains.
In our first production run, we are offering these cars in their prototypical Pennsylvania paint schemes with car-specific details and paint. We are making 6 different business cars ranging in eras from 1935 to 1965. In addition to the detailed interior, these cars will come with separately controllable lights for more prototypical operations. See the full list of details below for more information.
