Question on how you search for items on a retail website...???

I was taking a look at our passenger car section in HO scale and was debating on how to organize it.

Would you rather look at passenger cars by roadname or by coach, diner, observations, etc....

here is the current layout.... Let me know what you guys think!

I like the current way you have it.

The only thing I don't like is when you look for a certain roadname, you get everything at that roadname. It would be nice if it just showed their passenger cars, or whatever category is.

I'll agree with Dan, your site is fine the way it is. In any case I'm usually looking for a specific item, so I cna use the categories easily.

Eventually I hope to be able to sort the items on each page by roadname. Currently We can only sort by Price and Brand using the drop downs.

I was considering organizing the passenger car section by roadname only instead of Coach, Diner, Baggage...

I figure that most people looking for passenger cars would be looking for a specific road...

I think it's pretty good now but having the option to limit the search to one road name would be helpful. You might also consider adding "Undecorated" and "Painted but not Lettered" as search criteria for those of us with freelanced layouts

Hey Jim,

I have planned on adding Undecorated to the list. I will try to get it up by Friday.

Sounds good. Love the site though.

BTW... The Undecorated Search is completed

Also just added a good amount of Amtrak Phase 1, 2, 3, and 4 passenger cars
