Hi, Yeah, I was wondering as I get back into the swing of things--hasn't internet commerce helped small suppliers stay afloat these days? I would imagine that being able to order direct from the manufacturer with an internet storefront would be the way to go with model railroading these days. Even ten years ago the internet wasn't as robust as it is today--there was no such thing as "internet commerce". I was going to make an SP GP60 from a GP50 Athern kit. I spent months collecting all the detail parts! And do you know what happened? I left my halogen lamp on over the kit pieces! Everything melted! [:o)] Man I was crushed. Had I had more self-esteem back then, I probably would have tried again, but finding the pieces was such a journey in itself that I *shrug* gave up. I hate it when that happens. It would be nice to see an online shop that is easy to navigate, easy to order from, and had good customer service. For hobby electronics, i shopped MOUSER, and they had excellent service standards. Can the same be done with detail parts? peace & regards, johnny [:)]
