Central Hobbies Special Services
Central Hobbies has many special services for our customers.
Estate Sales
Should you be in the unhappy position of having to dispose of an estate collection, we can
help you. We will buy, sell on consignment or advise you as to the best course to dispose of the
estate. For a fee we will advise you on the best way to dispose of an estate. If we are purchasing
part or all of the estate the fee may be waived.
Consignment Sales
If you have special items that you wish to sell we handle consignment sales.
Insurance Valuation.
For a modest fee we do insurance valuations for theft or loss. If we are replacing the
equipment the fee may be waived.
Custom Painting and Locomotive Detailing
We have several customers who do custom painting and locomotive detailing. Please contact us
and we will pass your requests on to them. Note that they work to their own schedule.
Digitrax
Consultation
If you are considering converting your current layout to Digitrax DCC or if you are
considering building a new layout using Digitrax DCC, Central Hobbies has a Digitrax DCC
consultation service. We will assist in you configuring a Digitrax DCC system for your layout.
The fee is $25.00 per hour or part thereof. Consultation fees may be credited towards the
purchase of a Digitrax DCC system from Central Hobbies.
DCC Decoder Installations
Central Hobbies can provide basic decoder installation through staff or customers. Advanced
decoder installation is offered by several of our customers. If you have a difficult installation we
will offer it to our outside installers to see if they are interested. Please see our DCC Page for more information.
A note regarding custom services
People who do custom work as a hobby work to their own schedule. They will tell you when
they accept your work how long they think it will take. It may take more time or come faster. It is
up to them.
