One thing about Large Scale is that for scratch building supplies you have less of a reliance on Hobby Shops. A lot of the stuff is big enough that you can get it from a hardware store. This makes a big difference on cost when you are half way round the world from the USA. <br /> <br />For example if I go down to the local hobby shop and want some flat styrene to build a wagon, I can pay $10 and get a piece thats not even big enough for one side. If I go to the plastic wholesaler they moan that I only want a small amount, but for $10 I get so much that I have trouble fitting it in the car to take home! <br /> <br />It is very sad for the local hobby shop, but without access to the large disounter mail order shops & ebay via the internet, I could not afford to be in G scale at all. <br /> <br />Glen.
