Update for 2023
Until I get this fixed, the best way to contact me is by DMing me on our Family Garden Trains facebook page here. Please include your e-mail address so I can respond through e-mail (DM is ridiculously clunky at this end.)
Please Ignore the rest of this page for now.
Or type your name, e-mail address, and message into the following form. In case you wondered, no salesman will call, and your contact information will not be given to anyone else under any circumstances. But it would help us plan future products and maybe even answer your question better if you'd help with a handful of survey questions, too.
Do you Need the Order Tracking Pages Instead? Note: I don't sell trains, I only review and occasionally accept advertising for products I believe in. So I can usually answer questions about the quality or size of the product, but I can't answer questions about orders. If you have questions about an order you placed with one of our recommended suppliers, please check the links below:
For all other questions, concerns, suggestions, etc., please use the form below.
Thanks, and happy railroading,
Paul Race
Note for Real People Who Want to Sign Up Sadly, every week dozens of spammers and jokesters fill out this form thinking that somehow their unwelcome advertisements or content will show up on my site (they don't). Some of those fake request from spammers even come with real people's e-mails attached - they've harvested someone else's address book so their requests would look legit.
Update for 2014 - Years ago, when someone signed up with no information to speak of, I used to e-mail them back and ask them to verify the request. As often than not, they had never heard of us - some spammer had just used their e-mail address in a vain attempt to hack our site. Unfortunately, that kind of follow-up on our part meant that we spend hours following up on would-be hackers that we could have spent helping out real people with real questions. Or, if we took the spam at face value, we wound up actually spamming people who had never contacted us. Which is a little embarrassing.
So I'm now asking people who want to subscribe to our newsletters to supply their real full name, state, and zip code, and some comment about themselves and/or their hobby so we know it's not just a random spam attempt. To help us serve your needs better, you can also check off boxes that apply to you. Considering how much personal information I've shared over the years on these web pages, I don't think that's asking too much. Again, NONE of your personal information will every be revealed, sold, traded, or used in any way except for me to have a better idea of who my readers are.
Finally, if you attempt sign up with partial or apparently fake information, we will delete your request without even getting back to you.
) *Note: Unfortunately, in addition to the many reader questions we answer every month, we get a certain number of questions and signups from people whose systems are set to block our e-mails automatically. If you use a system that rejects e-mails from all unknown senders, please let us know in the comment area how you've made provision for our e-mails to get to you without us having to jump through hoops. Thanks - Paul &c |
