Weather My Trains : Weathering Rates

Manufacturer's new releases always take priority over all commissioned work

Wait times for commission work are subject to workload and manufacturer's new releases. Your patience is genuinely appreciated.

(a gift from Mother Nature and my Ocular Surgeon in 2022). 

Please understand that weathering, as my core business, always gets priority.

Unless otherwise requested by the customer, all domestic shipments are via Canada Post Expedited Service and all International shipments are via Canada Post Xpress Post. 


All shipments are loss insured. International shipments are insured to a maximum of CAD$1000. If more insurance is required, UPS will only be utilized upon customer request.
