Had a chance to swing by a major train store today. It's billed as the largest train store, and while I can't validate the statement, I would not suprise me. Normally I go in and visit he DCC installer and the n scale area. Well this time, I went specifically to find out what they had for g scale. Well, much to my suprise, this wonderful shop, stocks nothing other than LGB for gscale. I saw a small rotating rack with some figures. And nothing else. No scale parts, nothing. I asked about Aristo, and thought the clerk was going to puke on me. He turned all green and grey, and made some serious ugly remarks. I started to ask him to at least explain, took one look at his face and walked off. I BSed with the DCC guy a bit more and he just shook his head. I hate to say it, but I guess I can write off this shop. It's ok, with gas prices like they are, I really can't afford the 200 mile round trip. So on the way home I dropped by another train store. Hmmm..... Only LGB. Talked with the owner for a bit. They don't stock a lot of anything, other than HO/N/O. The will order Aristo stuff. There's another thread on the forum about LHS, and what makes a good one. I posted my idea about a G Gauge shop. After my experiences today, I wish I hit the lotto, and could just open one. I was digging through other threads and found one asking the question about what's holding people off from getting more into G. It was a poll. I don't remember the exact options, but they were basically, Cost, Room and lack of info. I vote for Lack of info, or info is scattered so badly it hard to find much out. (OH THANK TO YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE). Next to that is cost. When all you can see is the cost of LGB stuff, no wonder people shy away. Ok, /Rant = Off. Sorry, Steve
