[quote user="nbrodar"] My favorite haunt is Lin's Junction <A href="http://www.linsjunction.com/">http://www.linsjunction.com/</A> in Lansdale, PA.  Great customer service.  DCC experts.   A large selection of scratchbuilding supplies, and craftsman kits.  Most prices discounted 10% off list, plus an extra 5% if you're a NMRA member.  And if they can find it, they will order it for you.

As is the Septa Transit museum store which carries a few sets and other models.  The other LHS in Feasterville, (lower bucks county) is more in the lionel, G and S gauge business but carries some BLI and Marklin and lots of Bachmann stuff.  They do consignment but even then the prices are still stiff for used. IHC and Bachmann also have their factory HQs in NE Philly about 15 minutes from my house so getting their parts and warranty services are easy.  I have a handful of Spectrum stuff plus the junky stuff from my childhood and can get parts easily.  This came in handy on my Shay which was flat out replaced due to a driveline bind.  It's cheaper to go to the mfg. then to send it back to the seller. Boscov's gets some nice sets in before Christmas and carries some equipment but not much. The other shop in Bensalem looked like it closed last time I went by (Dave's Trains) mostly G and O-scale there at the time.  Aside from that there are other craft stores in the vicinity for paints and scenery things.
