For the 2018 Holiday Season, we anticipate no delay in getting customer order(s) pulled, packed & shipped out the same day as the order was received due to the fact that everything shown on our web site(s) is actually in stock at our shop. As of 12/8/18, we have not experienced any delay in getting new products from our distributors in generally a 3 day time frame. We just received a large Lionel order that only took 4 days to get to us from our Nebraska distributor.

"Welcome To South Carolina's Biggest Little Model Train Shop"

Located in the Pee Dee Region of Eastern South Carolina, Bandit's Model Trains has been the premiere stop for model railroad enthusiasts for over 25 years. Thousands of visitor's to Eastern South Carolina have trusted our knowledgeable staff and return on each visit to the area to shop for their model railroading needs.

With the launch of our web site, we can now provide to those outside of our local area the opportunity to shop with us and take advantage of the service and savings that our local customers have been enjoying for over 20 years. Recognizing that to be successful in a 24 hour e-commerce based global marketplace, responding to the needs of the customer has to be our #1 priority. Our informative and easy to use web site creates a positive shopping experience for all shoppers.

Unlike so many other internet sellers, the difference between them and Bandit's Model Trains, is that everything shown on our web site is actually here on the shelf in our shop and not sitting in a distributors warehouse in another part of the country. We will never list an item on our site that we don't actually have in hand. Therefore, it is not necessary for us to have to define what "in stock" means as seen on many other internet sites. 

We invite you to explore our web site. Simply browse for an item that you are looking for, or do a search using our unique store search engine, place items in your cart and then check out!  We also invite you to visit our other web sites www.banditshobbies.com, www.HobbyBanditUSA.com and www.carolinaracingcollectibles.com for items that are not found here on this site. Items listed here on this site are not duplicated on our other web sites!

South Carolina Sales Tax (8%) will be added to all orders that have a South Carolina delivery destination. Charges for overages in weight, size or hazardous materials may be added to our shipping charges when applicable.
