Dear Valued Partner,
As you may be aware, ongoing tariff increases and fluctuations are impacting pricing across many product categories both inside and outside of our hobby. At Walthers, we are actively working with our industry partners—and the broader toy industry—to advocate for tariff relief (exclusion or reduction) on model trains. At the same time, we are collaborating closely with our suppliers to absorb as much of the added cost as possible.
The recent tariff changes scheduled to take effect have further impacted pricing on many products within our hobby. As a result, effective immediately, we will no longer be able to honor backorders and advanced reservations at their original pricing. This policy will apply to all products we distribute, including Walthers-branded items and those from our vendor partners. Updated pricing will be provided prior to shipping new products. We will continue to monitor the situation and communicate actively with you should anything change.
Please rest assured that our commitment to delivering the highest quality and value remains unchanged. We are doing everything we can to minimize the impact on you, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding as we navigate these challenges. If you are concerned about the tariff situation and its impact on our hobby, consider communicating actively with your own elected representatives about your concerns so your voice can be heard.
Your continued support means the world to us and we remain proud to serve you as we have for almost 93 years. Thank you for your loyalty, patience, and partnership in supporting this wonderful hobby.
Warm regards,
The Walthers Team
