Folks, are any of you familiar with www.hobbysurplus.com? I just got their catalog and they have some very good prices on stuff, but I would like to know how reliable this joint is. I'm looking for example to this HO train set, 1 loco and five cars, nicely priced, but they don't say who the manufacturer is. If anybody can give me a hint, throw ti right away!

Haven't used them for a while, but I have bought lots from them, not only train stuff. Been happy with pricing and service, but you gotta be quick! They often sell out.

added: but watch the prices. I have looked at loco's there and some were spectacular prices (bought an Atlas GP-38 recently) but others were cheaper at Kleins ( http://modeltrainstuff.com ) on the specials pages. As always, caveat emptor.
