It Only Happens Once A Year
Lowest prices so far this year! Click on the image

Shipping Reminders
Don't forget that the world is in the midst of
holiday shipping with overall online Black Friday sales
up 30% nationwide over last year. This means at minimum
there will be that much more shipping volume within the
USPS, Fedex and UPS systems. With Cyber Monday online
retailer sales tomorrow, even more items will be
'in the stream' bogging down the shipping systems even
further with just over 3 weeks until Christmas.
Because of Covid 19 BRH was already seeing inbound
delays to us. This will only get worse as we move
forward this month. Ed and I will be processing and
shipping your orders as time permits each day. With BRH
now getting deliveries 7 days a week, we hope not to get
bogged down this year. But that is up to the shippers,
wholesalers and manufacturers.
So, this holiday season, please be patient.

The Last 5 Days!
Late Friday evening one of our hard drives stopped
communicating with our server completely. Not sure what
happened. A partial evening update occurred messing up
the home page. While operationally the rest of the BRH
site and operations where fine. But it took from Friday
until yesterday afternoon to get the drive back online.
We back up all drives weekly on Friday nights, so we
needed to recover the weeks data. As of this email,
there are no issues! So, sorry the delay in responding
to emails and the like since we had all hands on deck to
get back up to speed today!
So this update which would have been sent on Sunday was
delayed as well.
BRH Informs
Did you ever notice that Blue Ridge Hobbies is the only
hobby retailer in the world that let's you know what is
really going on in the model railroad hobby?
BRH let's you know which manufacturers are falling short
when it comes to delivering product for us to sell and
which are doing a good job in helping you build your
railroad by getting BRH the product it needs to ship to
you in a timely manner.
We will continue to do this so you stay informed.

estuaries, marshes and backwaters. It's patterned after
a 1906 prototype in Illinois. Also just arrived is the

gate. Both of these kits are moving fast. They're also

Rapido Trains Announces New HO Commuter Cars, PRR F30
Flatcar
Newly tooled, highly detailed models have been announced
by Rapido Trains. The Bi-Level Commuter Coaches and Cab
Cars are based on the familiar lozenge-shaped commuter
cars used by a variety of U.S. and Canadian commuter
systems including GO Transit, Montreal AMT, Los Angeles
Metrolink, Dallas/Fort Worth Trinity Rail Express and
several others. The cars are currently built by
Bombardier, but predecessor builders include UDTC and
Hawker Siddeley. Rapido is offering them in all
appropriate body variations (riveted and welded) and
they include interior lighting and seats, cab car
lighting for DC and DCC and tinted windows. They are
available in coach/cab car sets and single coaches. For
Pennsylvania Railroad fans the PRR F30 Flatcar in F30 A,
D and G versions has been announced. 1500 of these 50'
flatcars were constructed in 1933 and 1934, and their
success saw
another 250 built in 1951. They operated continent wide,
so every modern-steam through 1970s-era layout can use a
few. Hundreds were converted for trainer-on-flatcar (TOFC)
service and served Trailer-Train/TTX too. The models
feature die cast bodies, accurate details, trucks and
decoration. They'll have wide customer appeal. Check out
the models below and reserve now.
