PROBLEMS USING PAYPAL
Our Shopping Cart Service has stopped working with Paypal.
You can still pay with Paypal by following these steps:
- Enter your items into the shopping cart as usual.
- When you go to Checkout, select this option for payment:
Payment Mailed to Merchant
-
In the "Special Instructions . . ."
section just below your shipping and billing information, key in something about Paypal.
-
I will process your order and send you a "Trial Invoice". Then I will send you an invoice from Paypal. You pay that invoice from Paypal, and I ship your items.
I apologize for the inconvenience. I am working hard at implementing a new shopping cart program. The new program has some features you will probably like, such as IT WORKS WITH PAYPAL! Also, it stores your credit card information (securely) for later use, just like Amazon.
Thanks for your patience.

 About the Company
We want every home in America to have a Timber Railroad Bridge. If not a Black Bear Construction Company bridge, then one from some other company. If not a timber bridge, then a steel or iron bridge. You get the idea: we want modelers to be building bridges.
Black Bear Construction Company's primary goal is to provide hobbyists at all levels with durable, precision tools that allow the trouble-free construction of timber bridges and trestles. Our jigs allow the beginner to build that first timber trestle; and, they allow the master builder to concentrate on details and finishing rather than building jigs.
I designed the Success Series bridge kits for Midwest Products Co., Inc. These kits include step-by-step, illustrated instructions for building prototypical timber bridges for both detailed scenery layouts and floor or plywood tabletop layouts. Any skill level modeler can build an authentic looking bridge with these kits. Bridge kits purchased from Black Bear come with lifetime technical support. (That's my lifetime, not yours.)
Thanks for your business. We hope to hear from you soon.
