This thread peaked my interest so i Dug in my MR recept box and glanced through to see where exactly i have spent my money to date this year. rough estimates are as follows Local shop(70 miles away)-35% EBAY.......................................-35% Hobby show............................-5% Inernet(4 nscale,BLW other)15% Other hobby shops................-10% That comes out to 50/50 between local dealers and the internet I actually thought the internet would be higher considering the distance but most major purchases(power pack,locomotives etc) were bought locally. Internet purchases comprise mostly misc cars,books,track,tools etc. The reason for much of this is the poor stock in N scale carried by my LHS.While they carry some track,some structures,some scenery items,thier choices are minimul at best.Local roads for locomotives are stocked in decent quantity for N scale. This particular shop carries less than 2% of thier inventory dollars in N 70-75% HO and the rest in S,O and G scale.Incidently,the shop has been for sale for the last 2 years.
