hey cwclark - If you only purchase brass rod and glue from your LHS, no wonder thr proprietor is trying to sell you something else. That's his job whether he is the owner or an employee. If his advice is suspect or products not to your liking, locate another hobby shop. The LHS has been the backbone of this hobby (and most hobbies) forever.God forbid if we get to the point of having to buy everything on eBay in the future. Look at what Home Depot has done to the traditional hardware store business or Walmart to the individual ' Mom& Pop' local businesses. Yes, I buy on the internet for certain stuff, as well as spend a ton of $$ at Home Depot & Loews (only because real hardware stores are an endangered species these days- and that's my point). I have a hard time even entering Walmart, although my wife has gotten used to it (probably for similar reasons as I have for shopping at the orange or blue/white box stores). Before I resort to buying train stuff on the internet, I'll approach my LHS to see if he'll 'strike a deal w/ me', especially if I'm ordering a bunch of stuff at the same time.
