I got this kit to use for a Pizza place. It is an easy kit to build and looks good. I haven't finished it yet but, I think it's going to work real nice.
Great value and quality
Came fine but delivery was really slow getting it here
This is an awesome built trailer kit, there is so much attention to detail, you almost feel like it is life like!
The saving grace of this review is the fact they give you a spare marker tip. Under normal use the tip frays and becomes a giant paint soaked Q-Tip that lacks any ability for detailed painting. I sure miss the Testors CreateFX markers, they were so much better than this thing.
Squeaky's, on the other hand, I cannot say enough good things. I always appreciate the extras they send along in their packages (dum-dums, smarties, and stickers too)!
this device makes pulling plugs easier from the control boxes especially when you have larger fingers
I ordered a Gemini Titan rocket and it wasn't nearly what I expected. So I asked if I could return it for a refund. They said I would have to pay for shipping ($25), but I could return it and get a refund less a 10% fee. Seemed reasonable. They received it on 30 July. A week later I sent an email asking if my return warranted a refund...crickets. A week later I sent an email asking if they received the package...crickets. A week later I called and was told they would look for it and give me a call back...crickets. A week later I called again and was asked to remind them of who I was again. They said they'd call me back that day...nope! The next day I called and was informed that I wouldn't be getting a refund (2-inch tear in the packaging) and the last time they saw it was in a bag in their dumpster. So I asked if I could get it out of their dumpster. Later on that day, I received a message (yes, a return call) that said they had it now and I could come pick it up. So I drove the hour down to Penrose, CO and retrieved the rocket kit, which I have donated to a local organization that might be able to use it. But the level of customer service was horrible and it is apparently a known issue that the guy who works customer service is overwhelmed. Well, I can no longer endorse Estes Rockets and don't what anyone else to fall victim to what, hopefully, is a temporary issue. My organization reimburses schools for purchased rockets (thousands of dollars a year), and I will inform them that reimbursements will most likely no longer be made if they turn in Estes Rockets invoices. They should find another supplier. Once again, until I ordered from them, I was a fan (even have a shirt). I understand the lack of a refund, but the customer service during this encounter was extraordinarily bad. Hope it gets better.
Hi Ed,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry to hear how frustrating this was for you.
After looking into this, we don't have any record of this purchase or any of the calls, emails, or return described here. We have never carried the Gemini Titan, and we haven't processed any returns connected to it. This review was also posted on a completely different item, the Space Shuttle. For reference, our store is located in Lawrenceville, GA, not Penrose, CO.
It's possible you purchased the Space Shuttle from us at some point and mixed us up with another store. We'd recommend reaching out to the seller you purchased the Gemini Titan from so they can help with your concern.
If we've missed something, please contact us directly and we'll be happy to take another look.
Best regards,
Clayton
Squeaky's Trains & Things
Lots of detail for an n scale vehicle with lighting
I’ve redeemed points twice and these have been out of stock both times. I never got the points back.
I was looking for an inexpensive decoder to allow to me to turn lights on and off, and to control the locomotive (in this case a trolley) independently, obviously. This fit the bill and didn't break the bank!
(I'll also add that Squeaky's has the best prices on the internet, shipped my order promptly, and threw in a fun little extra that made me smile. Thanks!)

Small, bluetooth allows phone control, Tsunami2 is the best. Adding bluetooth allows phone control. The 1100 is tiny.
Squeaky's Trains is great. I once burned up a decoder. They replaced it free, no questions asked.
Always great to shop at Squeaky’s. They always have what I need. and and I am able to pick it up in the store. The store has such a great selection of model train items! Great friendly service!
Plug and Play vehicle when I'm happy about the vehicle and fitting into a nice city state
Tho I haven't seen a railcar like this in our region, I am pretty sure that with the expansion of the CSX area in the last decades they are common in their current areas. I do see similar cars (gray) transporting phosphate in our area to shipping ports. I am trying to construct a CSX and NS layout. Still working on it.
Great customer service! Will be make an purchase from them again.
Quick turnaround at a good price. Received the throttles within a week.
I needed a smaller keep alive for my HO Bachmann Baldwin 4-6-0. I upgraded it to DCC with sound, and it would stall at my club track due to dirty track and dead sections. I was able to fit the KA2-P into the tender with the decoder (the decoder upgrade required cutting out some unused inside struts). And after adding, all of the stalling issues were solved! Also, I used a Soundtraxx decoder, and this keep alive is plug compatible. Perfect! I highly recommend for the size and the capacity.
