It has been my experience to be able to get parts for almost anything at hobby shops that advertise that they also fix trains. The parts may cost slightly more by doing it this way, but when I weigh the waiting time there is by ordering them from athern or somewhere on the internet against paying slightly more and being able to get them instantly, paying slightly more for them will win out every time. This is especially true if when they send you a part and then it turns out to be the wrong one, then you have to go through the process of sending it back and waiting again for them to send the right one. <br /> <br />To me, the slightly higher cost is worth not having to go through that aggrivation. There have also been a few times that when I went to buy a few parts from the hobby shop, that the proprietor just gave me the parts free, as it was his way of saying thank you for all the business that I had done with him. This was even better. Sort of like having my cake and eating it too. [:D]
