Both. An LHS is very useful if you want to ask questions, or check up on something before buying. I'm planning another trip to mine on June 3rd (after my university exams are over), but as it's about a 90min drive each way I don't get there very often. Internet shopping does offer better prices (though my LHS has recently cut their prices on a lot of locos and cars (Athearn blue box Dash 9s were £49, now £32, for example)), but without our support the LHS will not be there to offer help, advice, and a sympathetic ear when it all goes pear-shaped! <br /> <br />I'd agree about being careful shopping online. I wouldn't use paypal, after all the stories I've heard about problems. I only buy online from 2 or 3 retailers, all of which have assorted awards for security, etc.
