Pre-Order FAQ
Most manufacturers give an ETA on when they expect to release the pre-order which can be seen near the ""add to cart"" button on the product page. They also give an order due date (found in the product description) which is indicative of when the product is expected to go into production.

There is a 5% NON-refundable deposit for preorders, this amount will be deducted from the price of the product when it arrives. You will see how much downpayment is required after adding the item to your cart. We do not store your payment information and it is not charged by us when the product arrives.

For any pre-order submitted after the due date, we will try our best to fulfill your pre-order, but are at the mercy of the manufacturer and if they produce more than were preordered by their dealers. If we cannot fulfill your pre-order we will credit the 5% deposit to you.

When the pre-ordered product(s) are available to ship, you will receive an email requesting the remaining 95% payment that will take you to your cart. We will never charge your payment method without you checking out. At this time you are also able to add other in-stock items if you wish.

Please note that Estimated Arrival Dates can change at any point. Midwest Model Railroad is not responsible for manufacturers delaying production. Click here for more information https://midwestmodelrr.com/pre-orders/

For 2026, we’d like to introduce you to our BRAND-NEW Greenbrier DOT 117 Tank Car in N-Scale!
This tank car has been nicknamed “the tank car of the future” and is designed to comply with DOT117 standards. Approximately ⅓ of tank cars in North America transport flammables such as crude oil and ethanol, and for the longest time DOT111 was the standard regulation for such tank cars. Unfortunately, these older cars had minimal protection for fittings and valves, this resulted in a higher failure rate during accidents. As a result, the DOT117 was introduced and came with an increased steel frame, thermal protection, and additional safety adjustments.
KATO USA will be replicating this model in N-Scale based on the Greenbrier paint scheme. The model features brand new tooling and a robust construction that features all the essential details and piping throughout. The model is lightly weighted so you can easily create a long freight train without any worries of derailment or jumping the track.
