This is a brand new Model Railroader N Scale Railroading "Getting Started in the Hobby" - Second Edition - by Marty McGuirk. 

Among model railroad enthusiasts, the popularity of N Scale continues to grow. Its small size scale appeals to modelers with limited space, as well as to those who want to pack more operation into a larger area. Now, getting started in the N Scale hobby is easier, thanks to N Scale Railroading from Kalmbach Publishing. In this second edition, author Marty McGuirk acknowledges the numerous advances in N scale railroading since the first edition. He addresses them all, from track to train control. Then, he takes beginners through step-by-step chapters that show how to build and operate a complete N scale 4 x 8-foot railroad. In addition, model railroaders will learn about grades, lighting, and presentation, flextrack, DCC and turnouts, designing scenery, benchwork, and structures. Softcover, 96 Pages

    Shipping

    Hobby Time ships Monday through Friday excluding US holidays.

    We prepare, pack and electronically notify our shippers of the shipment of your order each "Shipping Day" between 11:00 am to 3:00 pm Central time zone Monday through Friday (excluding holidays and vacations). Orders released for shipment prior to 3:00pm are processed on that day.

    Transfer of Parcels - 7:00pm to 9:30 am

    Parcels are delivered to the various carriers after the close of our Business Day, between 7:00 pm of the Shipping Day and 9:30 am the following morning. 

    Worst Case example:

    If you place an order and it is released by PayPal for shipment after 3:00 pm on the Friday afternoon before a Monday Holiday, that order will be processed the next "Shipping Day" which is the following Tuesday. (Friday evening, Saturday, Sunday and the Monday holiday are not shipping days)

    USPS Express Mail (2-3 business day delivery in the U.S.)

    Depending on when your order is submitted and PayPal releases the order to us as "OK to ship", the time of delivery that eBay estimates may not be valid as the actual "Guaranteed Delivery" time of the United States Postal Service. The difference often varies 24 hours or more.

    The USPS only guarantees delivery for an Express Parcel after the shipping fee is paid to them and the label printed by the shipper.

    We have no control over the USPS and make NO Guarantees beyond the USPS Guaranteed Delivery time.

    When your order is processed during our "Shipping Day" the label is printed and tracking information is provided to you "the customer" through eBay. The customer can then view the actual Guaranteed Delivery time by entering the tracking number on USPS.com.
