03/25/23 - Trackside Trains
Hard to believe it has been 2 years since my dad passed away, but I do have some exciting news to pass on. Trackside Trains will be manufacturing and selling weight upgrade kits and steel load kits, based on Adair Shops kits, under their product brand. In addition, they have acquired the remaining finished product packages and will be selling them on their website.

I am glad and honored to see Trackside Trains pick up where my father left off. Be sure to check out their website at https://tracksidetrains.com/. They can be reached at Tracksidetrains.com@gmail.com for any questions or product inquiries.

As for the Adair Shops website, I will keep the website and the email going for the foreseeable future. With weight and load kits in the capable hands of Trackside Trains, the direction of Adair Shops still remains to be decided. Whatever direction that takes though, you can be sure you'll read about it here.
03/19/23 - Passing
The owner of Adair Shops recently passed away. His passing was sudden and unexpected. The family mourns his lose and is grappling with all the loose ends that an unexpected passing brings.

As his son, I am tasked with closing the business. The shear scope of clearing close to 20 years of business related equipment and material is further compounded by the memories various items stir.

There are a couple of items to note. First off, I have been able to gain access into the business email. I will be checking email several times throughout the week. Also, in order to help my mom with expenses, the business phone is being shut off at the end of the month. Best way to get in touch with Adair Shops will be through email or snail mail. Lastly, the website will be kept up and running for the foreseeable future.

As I work to close the business, updates will be posted here. Finally, I personally want to thank all the past and current Adair Shops customers for your support.
