[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by HighIron2003ar ... I recall a store in Gettysburg called "Gilbert's" it was a unassuming store and once you elbowed your way in and was confronted with floor to ceiling shelves crammed with everything... it is sometimes overwhelming. Eventually the owner would discover you hovering at the front door debating if want to continue deeper into the malestrom of models and detail parts etc the booming greeting and handshake dispels that fear rather quickly. You could name the most obscure lost wax superdetail part that has been OOP for 20 years and he would go straight to the proper drawer stacked onto other drawers bulging with yellowed bags (Age) holding the part you asked for. ".75 cents and will that be all?" usually it is not as you realize that you are in paradise and want to discover what else could be lurking that may be the "Must have" item for your layout. That store is no longer there. I think the greater horror would be that people will no longer open and maintain "Hobby shops" 20 years from now. To me that would be very horrifying. [/quote] THANK GOD Tommy Gilbert's is still there. I just called them to be sure (717)337-1992. I'm from Texas and have gone to the battlefield just so we could stop by Gilberts. It's awsome, If you're into brass take a lot of money. They have anything old that you could possably want. Have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
