Some good news! We’re happy to announce that our much sought after B&O M55s have been restocked. We’ve also restocked lots of detail parts.

Now – for the less-than-ideal news.  All of our products remain subject to tariffs when shipping to the United States at the following rates:

• Parts & Kits – 50% “Section 338” tariff plus 10% “Forced Labor Mitigation” tariff
• Decals – 50% “Section 338” tariff
• Tools – 10% “Forced Labor Mitigation” tariff

Tariffs will be automatically calculated and applied in your shopping cart.  As always, if there’s any discrepancies between what we charge & what we get charged, we’ll refund you the difference.  

• MK 105.1 Baltimore & Ohio M55 Boxcar
• MK105.2 Baltimore & Ohio M55A Boxcar

With the ongoing trade unrest between Canada and the Untied States, we temporarily paused shipping to US addresses, but are pleased to announce that we’re resuming shipping to US addresses.

This, however, comes with updates to our tariff rates.  “Section 338” tariffs now apply to all of our product categories shipping to the United States, at a rate of 50%.

Any applicable duties (import tariffs) are due at the time of purchase, and will be included in your final checkout amount.

Thanks for your continued support, and keep your eyes open for some upcoming restocks and new releases.…

Starting with the good news.  We’ve been busy casting, laser cutting and getting decals printed.  Lots of detail parts have been restocked; we’re close to releasing some new decals, and we’ve been casting and getting ready to re-release one of our most popular mini-kits.

Additionally, any orders (Canadian and International) placed until August 23rd will not ship until after August 24th due to some late summer camping.

For the unfortunate news, with the looming deadline / possibility of Section 338 tariffs to be applied to all Canadian goods coming into the United States effective August 19th, we’ve made the difficult decision to suspend all orders to the United States.

While we hope this will be temporary, until we can understand the costs and impacts to our customers (at this time, it appears that all parts, mini kits and decals may be subject to tariffs of 50%), we can’t incur the risk associated with US orders.

Thank you to all our customers; we appreciate your continued support, and we hope to be back soon with some clarity on shipping and associated tariff costs.

All orders received to date have been processed.

We remain open for our Canadian and International customers.…

To rest up and recharge, National Scale Car is taking a summer break.

Any orders placed from June 21st through July 14th on the website will not ship until after July 15th.

You can still place orders while we are away, but please note that all shipping will be paused until we return.  Thank you so much for continuing to support our small business.

The Canada Post strike has ended, and we’ve resumed shipping orders; however, with the backlog & upcoming holiday, we continue to expect delays.  Thanks for your patience and continued support.

Fortunately, we managed to keep ourselves busy getting some items restocked: a couple decal sets, a mini kit & some detail parts as listed below.

D149 – Georgia Railroad Rebuilt USRA 50-ton Box Car

D259 – Missouri Pacific and Subsidiaries 1932 ARA

P1 – Tack Boards and Route Card Holders – 3 Board Construction

P2 – Door Stops for Youngstown and Superior Doors

P9 – SAL AF-1 detail set

P11 – Superior 8′ Wide 6-panel doors with narrow top panel

We’re writing to let you know that as of November 15, 2024, Canada Post workers have initiated a strike mandate and as a result there will be no package or mail deliveries until the strike is resolved.

Here at National Scale Car, we rely on Canada Post & their seamless integration with the United States Postal Service to deliver our products and keep shipping costs low.

We’re still optimistic for a timely resolution of the strike; however, we will be holding off on shipping new orders until Canada Post resumes service.  Please contact us with any questions or concerns.…
