Title: Where to buy RailPro
Post by: William Brillinger on October 26, 2015, 06:57:42 AM
This is a list of places to purchase RailPro products.

Updated 29 December 2024

General suppliers

Large scale specialists
These suppliers specialise in suppliying extra resources for RailPro to be used with Large Scale trains.

Dead list
These suppliers used to stock RailPro but no longer do so, as they either no longer exist, bought their stock from Walthers or simply no longer carry the range.

Hi Bill:

Two more sources for RailPro control systems are:

Litchfieldstation.com

Trainworld.com

Additionally, I believe the good people at Traintek will also do installations.

I won't be using this forum as an advertising platform, but I can say I have recently secured a Ring Dealer Account. By the end of next week you will be able to buy RailPro Products from my website as well.

Cheers!

I've been buying sound modules from Litchfield. They have good prices, ship First Class Mail and are just straight south of me (well 1700 miles anyway).

Looking forward to see them on your website, Bill.

Actually, I see PDC.CA has a better price CDN than any in the US, after you figure the exchange. I think I'll get my system from them! I see they have iPhone 4S speakers too!
Title: Re: Where to buy RailPro
Post by: William Brillinger on June 24, 2016, 06:17:04 AM
And don't forget PDC.CA has free shipping in the US and Canada  ;)

I hope to have RPK2's in stock again next late week.
It's been a long wait.

Great prices. I haven't made any RailPro purchases in awhile but will be switching my business over to you. Thanks again for all that you do here.

FYI, Just tried the Accu-Lites link and they don't show any RailPro products.
Tried the other links and you tie for the lowest priced LM-3S and have the lowest priced HC-2.

Thanks gcarter1945, I have removed the link for Accu-Lites.

Don't forget to factor in free shipping.  :)

I recently purchased my stater kit from Bill...ordered Friday...delivered Monday !!! I live in Niagara, nobody in the area has this product ...After looking around on EBAY it just made sense for me to buy from Bill. No US dollar exchange, no chance of having to pay duty and taxes at the border. Free Shipping.!!! competitive pricing...I jumped directly to RailPro from DC. I have never operated any other DCC system. After researching DCC products it was an easy decision for me. My 6 and 8 yr old grandchildren keep hogging the controller I only get it when they go home..!!!!

Well looks like I will be switching over to PDC. Lowest prices, free shipping and located in CA. No brainer for me.
This group is by far one the best I've been apart off.
Thank you to everyone, helping to make RailPro User Group amazing.

I recently purchased my Railpro products.  I was going to go with Model Train Stuff since one of the old store managers is a friend of mine. They are also close to me just down in Cockeysville MD.  But they did not have the HC-2 in stock.  Also the website was acting strange by not loading well and it was layering text in strange places or was partially covered up.  I went to Yankees Dabbler.  They had everything I wanted and it was delivered quickly.  They are in NJ.  I ordered the HC-2, (2) of the LM-3S and a CI-1.

I did go to Litchfield Station for (2) speakers and (2) step regulators to go from 3.7 v batteries to 12 v needed to power the LM-3S.  The (4) 3.7 LiPo batteries I order from Walmart.

I just picket up today a soldering iron from my local hobby shop and the soldering wire.  I also got the connector that matches the batteries and some heat shrink tubing.  Now it is time to begin putting it all together.

I went with Don Sweet at RCS of New England, You can actually talk with Don, or email him and he will get back with you. I received my first order from him on 11-29-2020, I haven't installed it yet, but have downloaded all the Ring/RailPro sites I need for downloading and updating my system as needed, sounds, etc. I played with the HC-2 and familiarize myself with it along with reading the manuals. I will probably watch a few more YouTube videos and just learn what I can, I enjoy learning first and then installing, usually it just makes the job easier and works the first time, well most of the time. I think I will be happy with the RailPro system, I think it's a good choice over other systems. G scale and battery power is my system.

With the impending release of the new LM-3S-21 I went around the web looking for places I might be able to get them from. This lead to a lot of dead ends, the Where to buy list had not been updated in quite some time. I've updated it as best I could (and broken it up into sections for no other reason than it seemed like a good idea at the time) for the amount of time I spent searching the sites to see if they still carried RailPro products. As can be seen, the list is a sad state of affairs now; and actually quite concerning for me.

I have been  working with Bill for a long time and I think he has aided the hobby, for one, this website. I suppose there are other fine dealers out there but I am most satified so I recommend him for your needs. HAPPY TRAINING ALL.

As I've mentioned elsewhere on this forum previously, Bill does not ship internationally anymore, so as much as I would like to support Bill, Bill is no longer an option.

I can ship internationally, but the shipping it too varied for me to include this option on my website.
Feel free to contact me directly to order. Note that I am unable to ship to Canada.
