In my area, there are six trains-only hobby shops. Another has a wide selection of trains but also carries airplane and car plastic kits. The owner of this shop and the hangers-on tend to be really skilled narrow gauge modelers and the store's train stock reflects that. They also have the really well organized, large stock of detail parts. Of the group of six, two cater almost exclusively toy train and G enthusiasts. The others have varying mixes of product. Some owners are very knowledgeable about the product, one is very knowledgeable about how to do and build things, being and MMR. This same one (and the only one of all seven) is really knowledgeable about DCC (primarily Lenz but carries the others). Pricing tends to mostly be at list, with two exceptions. At one, I can buy sound decoders at nearly the same price I could be on-line. I seldom have anyone order anything for me, but they all offer that service, with varying degrees of timeliness from 2 weeks to never. My one gripe with all of them is if I buy a product and find it defective, it is my problem to deal with getting a replacement or a repair.
