A Euro Rail Hobbies wish list allows you to save and edit a personal list of items from our site and share it with others. It can be used simply to keep track of items that you are considering purchasing or it can be used as a list for gift-giving occasions such as birthdays and Christmas. By setting up a wish list for the people buying you gifts you can let them know what you are interested in and make it easy for them to find the items and order them directly from our site - otherwise they may not know what a "Fleischmann DRG Mitropa Dining Car" is or where to buy it and you may end up with a month's worth of black socks instead :)

To create your own wish list, simply browse our catalog and add items you are interested in to our on-line order form. When you are done, instead of checking out, click the 'create new wish list' link on the order page. You will then be asked to enter your e-mail address and choose a title (i.e. "Dad's X-mas Train List") and password for your list and that's it - you will then be taken to your own private Wish List page.

To add items to your list, add them to the online order form as you did when you created the list. When you are done, click the 'add to existing wish list' link on our order form page. You will then be prompted for your e-mail address and password before the items are added.

To let others know about your wish list, go to your list page (you can login on this page or login by adding new items to your list). At the bottom of your list page you will see two options. You can choose to send an e-mail to the person directly from our site with a proper link directly to your list OR your can send/give them the login information displayed on the page. When a 'guest' views your list they will only be able to view the list and will not be able to remove or add items.

Our wish lists are not currently set-up to remove items from the list or mark them as 'filled' automatically when someone orders the item as a gift for you. However, you could mimic this functionality by giving out your password to the list. This would allow people to login and remove items from the list when they have purchased them. Otherwise we do not recommend giving your password out to others.

Wish lists are automatically removed from our system after 12 months of inactivity. Each time you come back and add a new item to your list, the date gets reset to 6 months from the current date.

You can set up more than one list under the same e-mail address by choosing a different password for each list. In exception cases, we reserve the right to limit the number of lists per user.

E-mail us at webmaster@eurorailhobbies.com and let us know what e-mail address you used to create the list - we will e-mail your password to you within 48 hours.

If you have any problems with a wish list or get an error message repeatedly, please e-mail us at webmaster@eurorailhobbies.com and let us know what happened.
