I have never heard of it, and don't consider those prices to be low compared to some other sites I have purchased from in the past.

I have dealings with Discount Hobby Supply, and his name is Vic.

If his prices are too low for you, please buy someplace higher. I don't blame yu for checking, but some of the regular dealers cannot match his prices. He has been on the WEB for about five years or so and is just trying to make a living.

I do not always buy from the lowest priced web pages and shop at my LHS so they can make a living. Trainworld sent an email yesterday offering an additional 5% off Broadway limited items if you are on their email list.

You can call the person to check out the deal as his phone number is on the web site. I usually call and verify all of the items myself before I buy.

Thanks for the prompt replies. I went ahead and ordered the engine from him and I'll see what happens. I'm a little leary aboout odereing stuff if the deal appears to good , but his being in business 5 years speaks well for him. In this electronic age bad news seems to travel very foast.
Thanks,
Tom

You asked about Discount Hobby Warehouse and bangert1 responded about Discount Hobby Supply. Are these the same or two different places? I have not had dealings with them.

To clear matters up I should have said Discount Hobby Supply, I believe it also goes as Discount Hobby Warehouse.at least that is what is on their mailing sticker. They are out of Huntley ,Il., and the guy I talked to was named Victor. I got the engine today FEDEX no problems, new in box runs like a champ....He will be definately be getting more business from me. I'll
