Its been an interesting read to get to the end of the topic. I live in Australia, and have limited access to the G scale stuff I like. I used to model HO, but wanted to do something in the garden. I too have been wary of e-tailers. like fbrand, I have to go offshore to get what I like, and get it at a great price. I use the web to support my buying, rather than using web based shops to buy (although I spend fortunes on books from publishers websites (eg Ashgate, Taylor and Francis)). When choosing who to buy from, I rely on magazines for information: - is there a real shop somewhere? - is there a telephone number? - is there an email? So far I have found three really good dealers, all who have websites, these are Watts Train shop in Indianna, Train World in New York, and Peyker Modellbahn in Austria. I have to say that Peyker is the best. Prompt to respond, great prices, always well packed, great advise, prompt shipping. Still without the web and a decent magazine, I'd be buying blind. I guess it comes back to the old warning - if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
