Delivery Delays
The last two weeks on Mondays
shipments coming from the Milwaukee warehouse via Fedex
Ground have been delayed by about 8 hours do to a later
then expected pickup which then pushes the normal
Wednesday delivery to BRH to Thursday. The current
Tuesday 6am orders you may have placed this week left
Milwaukee on time but have been slowed down due to
weather delays enroute and will not arrive at BRH until
Friday and the Wednesday 6am orders will not arrive now
until Tuesday.
Then on Tuesday, the USPS did not deliver or pickup as
well.
So please be patient as these delays are not caused by
BRH. I am working as fast I can to get your orders out.

Retail Store N Scale Liquidation
Over the years Blue Ridge Hobbies has
offered N scale product both online and in our
retail store. From 2013 until 2017 we did not offer
the N Scale product in the retail store due to lack
luster sales. But in 2017 with a lot of customers
coming in for N Scale items it seemed, BRH decided
to bring N scale track and structures back into the
store front.
Unfortunately in retail store sales of N
scale product has been very lack luster at best
since the reintroduction. The few N scalers that
came into the store did not help me decide what
additional N scale items to bring into the store for
sale when I asked them. Without this assistance I
was not sure what the local and visiting N scalers
where looking for. Keep in mind I model in N scale
as well as HO and some O scale but I still was not
sure what was needed to satisfy the local customer
base.
So, effective today, the retail store will
be closing out all of the in store N scale items to
make room for more HO scale, O scale and ALL Scale
items.
The in store N scale items are discounted
and we will take an additional 10% off these low
prices for CASH ONLY sales and 5% off for CREDIT
CARD sales! Discount will be taken at the register
at check out.
Quantities are very limited and for in stock
items only!
BRH will still offer the full line of N
scale items on the website with no changes there.
Stop by the retail store while the N Scale
supply is still good!

Severe Weather Update
Just wanted to let
everyone know that with the severe weather that moved
through the Greenville, SC area all day Thursday did not
cause any issues effecting Blue Ridge Hobbies. At
my home we received about 8 inches of rain but no flood
damage. A couple of trees came down near my out building
that house my train layout but only wiped out
about 8 feet of fence. Guess what I'm now doing on Sunday!
