Description

Kansas City Southern's "Heroes" SD70ACe is one of the more meaningful paint schemes to come out of the modern era — a locomotive decorated to honor the people who keep communities running. The scheme combines KCS's signature look with commemorative elements that give this unit a story worth putting on your layout. The Stealth Series version gives you the same die-cast construction and road-specific detailing as the Paragon4 — DCC-Ready on DC right out of the box, with an 8-ohm speaker pre-installed for when you’re ready to add sound and unlock the full feature set.

    Preorders: Frequently Asked Questions

    What is preordering and why would I want to do that?

    In the model railroading world, most products are made in limited runs. Manufacturers no longer produce large quantities to sit in warehouses. Instead, they announce new items and set a preorder deadline. After that date, production is based largely on the number of reservations received.

    Preordering through Model Train Stuff guarantees your spot in line for these limited releases. When the products arrive, orders are filled in the order they were placed. The earlier you preorder, the better your chance of getting your items, even if there are shipping delays or shortfalls from the manufacturer.

    Preordering is as easy as 1-2-3!

    1. Preordering is available on any item with the word "Preorder" as the first word in the product title.
    2. We will email your invoice approximately 30-45 days before your preorder items land at the warehouse. With the interactive invoice you can select your preferred shipping method and pay the balance of your order right online!
    3. We'll ship you your preorder once your invoice is paid online. 

    How can I place a preorder?

    To place a preorder, simply look for items marked with "PREORDER" in their title on our website. Add the item to your cart and proceed to checkout. You'll be required to pay a 10% non-refundable deposit to secure your reservation.

    When will I be charged for my preorder?

    You'll be charged a 10% deposit at the time of placing your preorder. The remaining balance, along with any applicable sales tax and shipping charges, will be due when the item is ready to be shipped. We'll notify you via email with a link to complete your payment.

    Can I cancel my preorder?

    Preorders can be canceled, but please note that the 10% deposit is non-refundable and will not be credited to store credit, as it goes toward covering the cost of the uncollected reservation.

    When will my preorder ship?

    The estimated shipping date for each preorder item is listed on the product page. We'll also keep you updated via email if there are any changes to the shipping schedule. Once your final payment is received, your item will be shipped according to your selected shipping method.

    What happens if a preorder item is delayed or canceled by the manufacturer?

    In the rare event that a preorder item is delayed or canceled by the manufacturer, we'll notify you as soon as possible. You can choose to wait for the item, apply your deposit to a different item, or request a refund or store credit for your deposit.

    How do I check the status of my preorder?

    You can check the status of your preorder by logging into your account on our website and viewing your order history. We'll also keep you updated via email with any important information regarding your preorder.

    What if I have more questions about preordering?
