The biggest issue I have with Details Associate is getting the only thing I buy from them as often as I can, the #2902 flasher/beacons. They are so hard to come by. I need them to make my custom lit beacons for my Monster Line and I was only lucky to get 6 at the Amherst Train Show even though I was looking for about 20-25. So i am always in need of those but no one every has them in stock or there is NO WAY for me to put in an order for 20 at a time to keep my stock up. I am not impressed with DA lack of contact options. What makes it worse, is when some "Dealers" or "Ebay Hobby shops" have those $2.40 #2902 beacons in stock they charge $3.40-$3.80 a pack and $6-$9 shipping!! If I want to get robbed I will simply walk down a dark alley at night in the projects rather than order the 4 or 5 #2902 a shop has in stock for $30 including shipping. Their packaging provides a PO box. There is something called US Mail, use it to contact them, The address is PO Box 5357 San Louis Obispo, CA 93403. You say you want 20-25. Why can't you put a direct order to DA for 50 or a hundred then you will not have to scrounge and complain about shipping. Or is spending a couple hundred dollars too difficult. Dave Hussey Cannon and Company Dave I tried that route with parts from them and got a reply saying if I want to purchase their parts then go through Walthers which is their distributor. I was looking for bulk purchases for a kit I made a while back and had to deal with smaller distributors such as Bowser to get my parts which took forever as usually Bowser has maybe 6 packs of DA parts but has ordered for me in qty's I needed. Best one man operation is Details West as I deal with him directly and always a great guy to deal with even though he is also a one man deal like DA. To me it seams like the guy running DA can care less if he stays or goes as even selling at dealer cost makes him more money then selling at distributor cost to walthers. And I am not talking about 24 packs of an item I was looking for close to 200 packs of certain items and 24-48 packs of other items easily totaling over a thousand dollars maybe even two.

I don't understand why small companies like DA and the like stay in business when they don't have the time or resources to produce products, respond to customers and otherwise take care of a business they created. Either you're in business or you're not. I don't think it is a valid reason to give any company a pass on poor customer response just because they are a part time enterprise. So if I understand you correctly, you would rather that DA and other small business that are "part time", go out of business if they don't respond or produce to your standard. I guess that they provide a product or service doesn't count. Geez. Dave Hussey Cannon and Company Dave, Go figure eh?

Certainly I would prefer Detail Associates had a website with a full product listing, online ordering, and contact e-mail addresses, but if the choice is between having boxes of quality detail parts randomly appearing at the Walthers warehouse without warning or not having those quality detail parts at all, I say bring on the mysterious boxes.

Dave Hussey Cannon and Company Dave is it still 1935? seriously, is it? We are a few years past the Age where a PHONE NUMBER is a BARE MINIMUM to run a business but since about 2001 the BARE MINIMUM is a online presence where people can respond to each other via EMAILS. How about this, You deal with Details Associate via PO box, get me 25 sets of #2902 at $2.40 and sell them to me for $2.50 (a slight mark up for your "easy work" since all you have to do is send them the order via PO box, then pay them for it MAYBE by Western Union or Money Order, get the shipment sent to you (All in a turn around time of about 3 weeks) then you can call or email me to let me know that they are in. I will send you $60 to cover the order plus shipping. How about doing that? Oh but first let me find out if you have the capabilities to make and accept phone calls or send and recieve emails? Do you have the capabilities to accept Visa, MasterCard, Discovery, etc?

For everyone complaining about DA, make them a financial offer to buy them out, buy the tooling and production machinery or a 3-D printer and begin producing them yourselves. Of course you won't be able to raise the prices to recover the costs of your investment since everyone will complain how much things cost since you bought the company. Then people will complain that you haven't updated the tooling. Of course you could make the "easy money" at home by buying in bulk reselling each part for a ten cent profit which means even after reselling 100 in an hour, you still won't be making minimum wage...

In the modern world, we pay a premium for convenience. Al you can run around for the next year trying to find another 20 DA beacons and it'll cost you gas, wear on your car driving to various shows, and most importantly time, which no one can stop or replace. That time is time you could be using to fill another order, working an OT shift, spending time with your family, or one of other thousands of countless activities. We you add all that up and put a value on it, it ends up being a substantial amount of money. Or you could look at the convenience/opportunity cost of getting what you need through the easiest/,most cost-effective manner; in this case it would probably be ebay.
This cuts both ways though. Because DA refuses to have effective or robust contact info or a website, they are losing a great deal of business.
Life's about choices. Choose wisely.

Brad, reading what Dave explained, it sounds like the one remaining guy in the DA business isn't terribly concerned with losing business since he has a regular job which supports him apparently well enough. It sounds like he maintains whats left of DA as a basic service to try to maintain some of the parts availability to the modeling community and isn't concerned about profits. In other words, be happy what is still being sold is still available - in a nut shell.
For all the complaint's in this topic, I'm reminded of the old saying, "beggars can't be choosers". Dave has explained the basic situation - that's it, take it or leave it. Complaining isn't going to change things unless the complainers take charge and do something themselves. As another saying goes "if you want it done right, do it yourself". Make your own DA type train parts company and sell the parts yourself, or fabricate them yourself.

Either you're in business or you're not. I don't think it is a valid reason to give any company a pass on poor customer response just because they are a part time enterprise. If I remember correctly, they are modelers and made parts that would not be available to us by any large manufacturer. I don't think it was a full time job originally but they it just evolved into offering the parts to offset their costs. Their products are excellent and the demands for detail parts by many of us just pushed them into production on a very small scale. The cost of producing a minimum number of detail parts for some items probably means they will not be available any longer. The Highliner F unit shells are much the same. If Athearn had not picked up the line, it would still be just a few of us who actually used or built those B unit Highliner shells. I was purchasing as many B shells as I could find long before Athearn came along and provided the complete units for sale to us. It takes a lot of money upfront to get products to the market and most small business companies in our field do not have the money to produce and stock items any longer. Even the large importers tend to build to reservations only. Larry

I bought Cannon because my good friend Gordon Cannon passed away, in a semi misguided desire to keep his legacy alive. I had a full time job, and had never owned my own business, nor had I ever even seen him make any tooling or shoot any of the parts. So i had to learn on the job and spend all my weekends making parts and shipping orders. I did set up a web page with contact info, and my business cards have my phone number. I have since retired, but still consult two days a week. So I usually spend a good portion of the other days dealing with Cannon. You will not believe the e mails I get with suggestions of some part I should make that will satisfy that person but never recover the tooling costs. Or ranting about why I charge for shipping (yes you Al). Not to mention the phone calls at all hours of the day and night. All that takes time. Yes not having a presence is so 1935 or whatever, but I'd does insulate you a little but and allow time to get things done. Dave Hussey Cannon and Company

The problem with the plastic model hobby is nearly everything aftermarket for tanks and planes are from foreign countries, typically either in the European Countries (such as the Czech Republic) or China (a lot of the newer photo-etched companies). There is also apparently a very robust market in Europe for model railroad details, but the parts and all have a European flavor to them.
I used to be a huge fan of DA, but I find myself now using more and more DW and Cal-scale parts. It is frustrating to need just one item for a project and cannot find it anywhere. Or when you go to place an order for detail parts, half are available from one shop and the other half from another.
So, why detail locomotives and rolling stock now? As good as ready-to-run is getting, there is still often room for improvement. Some parts still being used by Athearn, Atlas, Intermountain, etc. are a bit generic and/or lacking in detail. Plus, it maintains a "family look" to one models. I usually strip off MU hoses and replace them with the DW parts so that they all look the same. Finally, I enjoy the challenge.

This will probably be a moot point in a decade when 3-D printing improvements lower the costs to make it worthwhile to produce these parts on demand. At the moment, there are not a whole lot of hobby shops that could afford to have a lot of money tied up in inventory to stock of all of the detail parts from the various manufacturers. The profit from one limited-edition sound-equipped locomotive is equal to selling hundreds of detail parts. If everyone was buying their bigger ticket items at the local brick-and-mortar hobby shops, they would have been able to keep detail parts in stock. As for shipping, this is no different than buying something on Amazon that charges more for the shipping than the item being purchased. People seem to want a to buy parts for 20-30% off the list price, get free shipping, and expect the store to stay in business. For what it's worth, Caboose Hobbies has the #2902 DA part in stock for $3.40 and will charge $8.95 for small parts shipping. Buy 20 and consider the shipping adding another $0.45 to the price.

Seems like my simple question has turned into a lively conversation. I wish to thank all of those who have joined in.
Yesterday, I braved the remaining snow and walk down the hill to the mail box (5" is still quite a bit here in central NC). My letter with SSAE is off to Detail Associates, but from what this thread has provided, I suspect any answer will direct me to a distributor. Regardless, I will post what I find out.

Interesting the small detail parts business in the plastic model hobby is very robust and active. So many choices and companies. Even decals are doing well there. One of thousands of examples. I think James Bilbrey has some good comments, especially that the example you gave is a different type of product, probably with a much bigger, wider demand. Train parts is much more narrow and highly specialized so it's really apples and oranges IMO. Another good point by James is that there are modelers these days who do have a desire for parts - for various reasons. One is that the detailed models, especially engines, are getting so much more expensive that they are gradually pricing themselves out of many budgets, so this is forcing some modelers to go with lower cost models and detail them. That is a situation being brought on in the last few years as the market prices outstrip our salaries or disposable income. The question is, is there enough demand to make it worth the parts industry worth growing again.

The only standard I have as a consumer is to be able to buy the items listed in the company catalog. Listing parts in a catalog and not making them isn't really providing them is it?

The only standard I have as a consumer is to be able to buy the items listed in the company catalog. Listing parts in a catalog and not making them isn't really providing them is it? Yes and no. Not long ago someone took Athearn to task for the same idea of listing products on their website but many/most were not available because they were out of stock or sold out or not available. Does that count or not? DA seems to have some parts remaining available and the issue for some may be that they want it and want it quickly, and don't want to have to wait a while to get them. The parts are not available at the snap of a finger - but some effort and time is required. Anyway, it is what it is, and I still don't see how complaining is going to change things. It sounds like the last guy standing is going to continue to run some of the parts available until he quits or hands the surviving operation to someone else.

The whole point of the hobby is building model kits. Not so with model railroading. Excellent point John. The hobby of model railroading especially rolling stock is today primarily ready to run with all the details added by the factory. Undecorated models are nearly taboo. Bowser had a handful of undecorated C-430's in just one body style and they came full assembled. Athearn is sporadic in offering undecorated. Walthers has been cancelling undecorated models as of late due to not enough reservations. Lets face it, building and super detailing model trains makes up a small fraction of the hobby. Those of us that still enjoy building are a dying breed. Those of us still building, need to be thankful for the Dave Hussey's, Details West, Detail Associaties, Bowser, Microscale, Scalecoat, Tru-Color and all the other people and small companies that still provide parts, decals and paint for us dinosaurs that still do builds.

I wonder if we (modelers) don't inadvertently make the parts situation worse for ourselves.
By way of example, I've been looking for some Cannon Thinwall Switcher Cabs, the Late Version, for well over a year now. At every source I've tried, they're out of stock. Even at Dave's online shop, they're shown as OOS. I've just realized that in all this time I've never actually placed an order, with any source, for the cabs. Some sources, like Dave's, don't allow an order to be made for an OOS item, but others do. By not leaving an order anywhere my wish to buy these cabs (by extension, have them produced) is completely invisible.
Like many of us perhaps, I like to think I'll get lucky at some point and find these cabs at a show or some LHS I go into on a trip. This is my 'logic' for not leaving an order with any possible sources. It doesn't work very well apparently.
A couple of questions to Dave: how do you determine what parts to run at any given time? Is there something we modelers can do to make our needs more visible to you? I suspect I'm not the only one in the situation I've described.
Thanks for your insights and for the great parts from Cannon.
David

Thanks for your insights and for the great parts from Cannon. David Well, yes the switcher cabs have been out of stock for quite some time. I get a lot of inquiries and I answer (which takes time). Every order from Walthers has some on it and I back order them. The cab kit has one very special mold for shooting the roof. I have two 50+ year old plastics presses. The last time I made them was on the 18 ton press, (which is out of comission) . I've never run them in the 25ton press. That mold takes a special set up of the machine that is not comparable with the normal work flow, so I procrastinate. Just an hour ago I was going to give it a go, but the mold would not seat in the mold base. Careful examination of the mold base shows an area that plastic overflowed into that normally doesn't make any difference, but filled a pocket where a bolt head goes. Since I have to change out the mold base for a different size mold, I will be able to machine out the offending interference and in a week or so get that base back in the press and try again. Once I have them my shopping cart will remove the block that prevents direct ordering, and I'll fill Walthers back orders, which will trickle down to the LHS. Everything except 1803 is in stock. Its mold is damaged, and who knows when or if I can get it repaired. I'm not looking for ideas or suggestions. I need to be able to sell LOTS of a part to amortize hard tooling, or etchings along with even the header card printing Dave Hussey Cannon and Company

I need to be able to sell LOTS of a part to amortize hard tooling, or etchings along with even the header card printing Dave Hussey Cannon and Company Walthers lists your 36" fans first generation - 1707 - as unknown. Do you have them to order direct? Unlike at least one person, I've ordered directly from you in the past and your service is excellent. Like I just said other than the switcher cabs, and 1803, I have everything in stock or will have by tomorrow. I'm packing parts now. Walthers should have them by next weekend. Some of the most popular parts are the most difficult to run (like fans) and from time to time I run out for a few days as I don't make a big backlog of them. Dave Hussey Cannon and Company

What is your point? You linked the other manufacturers parts I have purchased in bulk to support the laser box car kits I offer and resell to make it easier to get the remaining parts. The remainder of my parts are here: shop.cannonandco.net/Dave Hussey Cannon and Company Hey man, I just found the sight on the web. Thought it was yours.
