I would like to support my LHS much more than I do but they go out of their way to make it inconvienient. I am in the process of building a large layout and am getting no support from them. In November I tried to purchase cork from them but they ran out. It was a full 6 weeks before they got more in. When I was there to pick up my order of cork I needed uncoupling magnets and they only had on package so I ordered more. In the mean time I picked some up in a shop 60 miles away. Several days later I ran out of flex track so down to the LHS I went to get some. And what to my surprise.......no stock. I was told that they were going to be doing inventory in 3 weeks so they did not want to bring in any extra stock that they would have to count. But if I wanted to ordered some, they would order it in 3 weeks and it should be in a couple of weeks after that. The order would have been $500 plus but they could not be bothered. Oh by the way 8 weeks have gone by and my uncouplers have still not arrived. At the rate things are going with the LHS I will not get my layout done in my life time. Now I am not talking a small hobby shop here, it advertises itself as the largest hobby shop in Canada. No wonder we n-scalers travel the 60 miles to Hutch's trains or cross the border to shop at LBC Hobbies. I also spend a large number of dollars at train shows because when you see it we have to buy it or the wait starts with the LHS or we drive the miles to support someone else's LHS. Thanks for letting my vent my frustrations STAN
