I've experienced LHS closings as well. A couple years ago my nearest LHS was closing out. They were also a craft supply store and didn't have a huge amount of trains. They had a 50% off sale on the whole store and I bought a bunch of Athearn blue box kits (mainly cabooses, because that's almost all that was left). They had some better quality engines that they kept in glass under the counter, but they raised the price on them once the 50% off sale started! Also recently, another train-only LHS fairly close to me shut down. When I was on vacation this summer I saw an ad in a papaer about a hobby store closign that had trains and was doing a 10% reduction each week until everything was gone. Unfortunately they were only going to be open a couple days each week and I wouldn't be there when they were open. It's a shame that we're losing all these places, I'll miss them.
