I'm not in a position to vote. I've noticed that some hobby shops cater to the R/C crowd, others to the model railroad groups. Either way, it seems that there are too few hobby shops in my local area. The closest one to me mainly deals in N-scale, although he does have some HO and some O scale. The next closest one seems to have a large selection of HO but little in the way of O or N. <br /> <br />Nonetheless, I still prefer the closer hobby shop. The owner doesn't make you feel like an idiot when you ask a question. It's run by one person, he does all the sales, the ordering, and the repairs and installations. In between times, he sometimes gets to run his trains on the layout in the basement of his shop (it's also the home of our club). <br /> <br />I think that the people who run hobby shops for the love of the hobby and the wi***o extend that hobby to other people are much happier than the ones who are in it for the money. Happier, but not necessarily richer in finances.
