[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Jetrock The next one out, in the suburbs but still technically in town, is Bruce's Trains, which is the descendant of a hobby shop I've been visiting for about 25 years. Wide selection of items, staff incredibly helpful and willing to have their brains picked, prices reasonable if not fabulous. The third one is actually in a nearby city about 20 miles away, Riverside Hobbies in Roseville. It's not quite as big as Bruce's but the selection is quite good and the staff very friendly. Prices tend to be very good, a little lower than the prices I see for things in the Walthers catalog, although the extra drive makes up for the price difference--unless I'm out in that neck of the woods anyhow I usually won't make a special trip. There is some R/C hobby shop nearby that has some G-scale stuff, but I don't do G scale--neither my wallet nor my garage (nor my backyard) has the capacity for those behemoths... [/quote] Bruce's? Fabulous prices? I don't hink so. Everything in that store is MSRP. Except the HO steam which is -10% but plus 8.25% which brings it back up next to MSRP. The staff is pretty freindly, except for one guy. Railroadhobbies needs a wider selection, but has a nice enviroment. Riverside Hobbies is not for moderl railroaders. Mostly LL garbage and a few random Accurail kits. they cater to mostly RC and airplane people.
