I buy from known suppliers out of the LGB catalogue; except rail which I buy from the club. Both of these suppliers are 1000 km (620 miles) away and i also live on an island but we have a bridge to the main part of the Sunshine coast so isolation is not a problem. <br /> <br />However as I am now working on my area 3, most of my purchasing is from hardware stores and suppliers. I will travel anwhere from 2 Km (1 mile) up to 50 Km (32 miles) depending what I want to buy. You all remeber those beaut rocks i bought, well thats how far i wen to get them an absoloute bargain. We went back there just recently and no wonder they were so good and so cheap; we found out they were stolen from a deceased estate. <br /> <br />But really I think Hobby shops are just for amateurs and when you get right into it you will by from established dealers that don't have big overheads and know in advance what you want to buy and get the best deal that you can! You will thenget your supplies in the mail so distance does not matter. <br /> <br />Thats what i think anyway. <br /> <br /> <br />Ian
