Welcome to Andy's helpful hints.

First, go to SEARCH. Then SEARCH:
1. By Road Name.
Type Your Road Name in Enter Search Text box.
Check Road Name block at bottom left.
Click on SEARCH button.

EX: Entering NORTHERN shows Great Northern & Northern Pacific listings. Entering Santa Fe shows Santa Fe & BNSF.
**Also, you can SEARCH road names using BNSF, D&RG, WP, SF, B&O, PRR, etc..but, your search may throw in a few extras. For example, searching for GN shows Great Northern listings, but also signals :)

Once your search results are shown the Search Box will be at the bottom of the list. You can modify the Search if you like. For example: Search for Western Pacific road name lisitngs. List is shown. You decide you only want to see Weaver Western Pacific items. Go to the bottom of the listing. In the search box under the Select Manufacturer drop down list choose Weaver Models. Western Pacific will still be in the Enter Search Text box. Click on SEARCH and the list will be only Weaver Western Pacific listings.

2. By Stock # or (Product #).
Type the Stock # in Enter Search Textbox.
Check the Stock #at bottom left corner.
Click on SEARCH button.

For WEAVER Stock #'s enter either the 2rail or 3rail #'s. EX: Entering Stock# 3200 or 3300 or 3300D will take you to Undecorated Outside Braced boxcars. Once you are there, you can choose 2rail, 3rail, or 3rail diecast trucks & couplers.

For MTH Stock #'s enter the full number such as 20-95043 or just enter 95043. You do not need to enter the -0 or -1 at the end of engine numbers to designate without or with sound. You can choose this option once the item(s) are displayed.

For Atlas-O Stock#'s I recommend you enter the 4 digit code, such as 7351 or 6351. The number is specific to 2rail (7XXX) and 3rail (6XXX). If you just keyed in 351, the SEARCH would show both the 2rail and 3rail models and you could then select the one you wanted. Most Atlas-O cars can be converted between 2rail and 3rail, but not always.

***CUSTOM CARS do NOT have stock #'s. To look at all custom cars enter custom in Enter Search Text box. Check the stock # box at lower left. Click SEARCH.

****PETERSEN SUPPLY CUSTOM CARS - to see our custom run Weaver, Atlas, and Pecos River Brass cars as well as our own custom decorated Stock Cars and Cabooses from ROCO enter custom-P in Enter Search Text box. Check the stock # box at lower left. Click SEARCH.

3. Search by Model Type.
Choose a model type in Select Model Type drop down box.
Click on SEARCH button.
Shows all listings for the model selected, such as Cabooses, 40' PS-1 Boxcars, etc.
**OR,instead of using search, go to PRODUCTS tab, click on Models and Accessories, choose the model type and scroll through the list.

4. Search by Manufacturer.
Choose a Manufacturer in Select Manufacturer drop down box.
Click on SEARCH button.
Shows all products from that Manufacturer.
**OR, instead of using search, go to PRODUCTS tab, click on Manufacturers and scroll through the list.
