ACCESSIBILITY: Model Train Stuff is devoted to providing an accessible web experience to all of our customers, including those with disabilities. We are continuously enhancing our website in alignment with the WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA guidelines.

Factory Direct Hobbies is a family owned business based in Asheville, NC that began in 2006 as Factory Direct Trains. For 14 years, we focused on bringing our customers the finest, cutting edge model railroading products available. During that time, we've expanded our model railroading inventory to one of the widest and most up-to-date in the world. But we've also grown our customer base and offerings to include hobby products that go well beyond trains, like the Bandai Gundam franchise. Our goal is to provide the best selection of hobby products in the world, at prices that make purchasing from us easy.


Yes. We know that paying ahead of time can be unnerving when delivery dates are distant, and not every project makes it to the production line. Rest assured that, in the event the manufacturer cancels your preorder project, you will be refunded your 10% down payment.


The manufacturing process involves many different moving parts, and this complexity often renders production timelines unpredictable. Therefore, some level of unpredictability in timing is inherent to preordering hobby products. Down payments are not refundable in cases of routine manufacturing, delivery, or other short-term delays.


However, we know it can be frustrating when a project gets delayed for many months. In the event a project is delayed more than 6 months beyond the delivery window originally estimated by the manufacturer, we will handle refunds of down payments on a case-by-case basis.


Friendly Reminder: Should you choose to cancel a preorder, it will no longer be reserved for you; in the event the item becomes available on our website, all customers will have equal access to purchase the item.


Nope! The policy is not retroactive: if you already made a preorder reservation before this policy update, you do not owe a down payment for that reservation. However, any future preorders you make will require the 10% good-faith down payment.


We make every effort to keep our website updated with information that reflects manufacturers' current estimated delivery schedules. To find the estimated delivery month of an item, you can visit our Preorder Section and use the filters to narrow down your selection.


Approximately 30-45 days before your preorder items land at the warehouse, we'll email your invoice to you to pay in full. At this point, you'll be able to provide your shipping address and select your preferred shipping method.


Recently, our suppliers have made a major policy change and are no longer accepting product returns for non-paying end customers. We have tried our best to absorb the effects of this change; however, after more than a year of trying, we have found we cannot continue to do so. After much consideration, we unfortunately must also change our policies to align with the realities our suppliers have created.


One silver lining is that this change will result in preorder items getting to your door even faster, as all payment processing will be well out of the way and the usual several day wait after product has arrived will be eliminated. We thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have questions or would like further clarification, feel free to contact us through the gold chat bubble.


Manufacturing schedules can sometimes be unpredictable. In the event your preorder item does not arrive at our warehouse within 60 days of your invoice payment, then you will have the option to cancel your preorder and receive a refund OR you may elect to continue waiting for the item.


For instance, with Athearn and Walthers, you can enter the part number into their websites and navigate to the item. Most of the time, the delivery date will be listed there. Broadway Limited has a published delivery schedule, as does Rapido.


In the interest of honestly, I need to report that, since I wrote my part of this article, several weeks ago I did discover my pal Irene (shown in the picture) sleeping on my wheat field here on the new layout. I think my panic (and raised voice) were enough to keep her from doing it again, but time will tell. Cats seem to have a short memory.


Our cat Zoey was very interested in my layout as it was being constructed. He cruised atop the benchwork as I laid track and some foam scenery. but eventually I had to close the door when operations started. He became a bit too interested in moving trains. I would occasionally bring him into the room on my lap to watch trains traveling by and then feed him elsewhere. Cats are curious critters.


Moses my rescue cat was fascinated by the trains. He never jumped up on the layout but would hop up on the stool and watch the action. One evening we heard him loudly meowing when I went into the train room he was sitting on the stool meowing. As soon As I started the trains up he quieted right down

evening we heard him loudly meowing.


When I returned for a long holiday break, I fired up the layout to operate and noticed to my chagrin that the trains I was trying to operate would not work on half of the layout, along with the powered turnouts and lights in the area as well.


Further investigation showed that ALL of the wiring was pulled out and chewed up on that side. I was NOT amused and barred the cats from my room while I was at home for the remainder of the time I was there. What was to have been a relaxing break turned into a massive restoration program repairing or replacing all of the wiring on that side of the layout. I shortened the wires to keep the cat out of climbing into them and I also tacked up some plastic sheet underneath the layout to keep the cats away from my work when I was not home.


30+ years on now, I have a layout in my basement I want to get operational but the wiring is really being an obstacle as I need it to be bullet proof and also have to keep our cats out of it as well. Thankfully, no scenery is finished yet but I can only imagine what may turn up from that! Where are those plastic drop cloths at?

You don't have to be a train-crazy toddler, miniatures maniac or geography geek to be transported by the craftsmanship on display. Take in the twice-hourly "nighttime mode" and the subtle jokes hidden in miniature scenes. While you're at it, use interactive buttons to lift a drawbridge, set off tunneling charges or fell a few trees. Like any good trip, this is one worth enjoying at your own pace.


Independently of the backprop process, some layers have different behaviors when you are training or evaluating a model. In pytorch, there are only 2 of them : BatchNorm (which I think stops updating its running mean and deviation when you are evaluating) and Dropout (which only drops values in training mode). So model.train()and model.eval()(equivalently model.train(false)) just set a boolean flag to tell these 2 layers "freeze yourselves". Note that these two layers do not have any parameters that are affected by backward operation (batchnorm buffer tensors are changed during the forward pass I think)


How to freeze your model kinda depends on your use-case, but I'd say the easiest way is to use torch.jit.trace. This will create a frozen copy your model, exactly in the state it was when you called trace. Your model remained unaffected.


I created a model to solve a time series forecasting problem. I had a limited amount of time series with which I could train the model therefore I decided to augment the data. The data augmentation strategy I used is quite basic but has shown to increase the accuracy of my model.


I wrote my own data_generator which I use to train my model with, using the fit_generator function in keras. Essentially it takes in the whole training data set that I have, shuffles all the time series and the augmentation process takes place specifically in each batch. In each batch I randomly pick, per time series in the batch, start and end points, so that each batch contains varying length slices of each series within the batch. This creates obviously an almost endless stream of data but it is entirely reliant on the number of epochs the model is run for as the dataset is not augmented upfront. No noise or anything is applied to the data set, the augmentation is purely from varying the lengths of the time series and the start and end points of the series.
