No hobby shops anywhere near here. In fact, it's an hour's drive to buy a pair of socks and much longer to anything resembling a hobby shop. Since I've been car-free for half a year now and travell primarily by touring bicycle, getting to any hobby shop has been pretty much impossible. I've been saving my pennies and making a list for when I fix the van and get to a town with a shop. Right now, I'm building a new layout from scratch using materials on hand, along with track & roadbed I've recycled from a previous layout. Half finished laying the track & couldn't find enough N scale rail joiners to continue. A few cents worth would do it but an additional 9 bucks in shipping charges from the mail order places rubs me the wrong way. Ah, the high price I pay to live in Paradise. <br /> <br />Needless to say, track-laying and any scratchbuilding from bought materials is on hold until I get to somebody's local hobby shop. <br /> <br />Wayne
