<Author's Note>
eBay seller SOOO-MUCH-STUFF is not currently sure how this will effect his spare parts sales.
As of February 2026 Micro-Trains will not exist as they once were. What this will mean to That Train Place and you, our customers, we do not know yet, but we will keep you informed if their products become available from us!
Stay tuned!
