Guide to the Trainz.com Wishlist

The “Wishlist” page includes the following functionality:

  1. It is aware of the Model Number of each item you add a wish for, so it can let you know when similar items become available on Trainz.com.
  2. It informs you about any recently listed Trainz.com inventory that matches your wishes.
  3. It informs you about price reductions of any Trainz.com inventory that matches your wishes.
  4. If you choose to, you can now opt-in to receive email alerts for new inventory or price reductions.
    Please note, you will not receive wishlist emails unless you enable Email Alerts (see annotation #2 below).

To help get you comfortable with the new features, let us walk you through how to use your Wishlist.

Adding Wishes

To add items to your wishlist, you will need to be logged into Trainz.com. Using the Trainz.com search or browse functionality, find an item that you would like to add your wishlist, hover over the image and click "Add to Wishlist" as shown below. Please note that you can now find and add wishes for out-of-stock items!

For example, when viewing the Trainz.com search results page, when you hover over the image of a desired item, you’ll see two options. Click the second option with the heart symbol and the phrase “Add to Wishlist.”
