Hello all,
Be glad you still have a LHS!
Mine just closed!
...nothing to add.
"Uhh...I didn’t know it was 'impossible' I just made it work...sorry"
To be honest it a hobby and I don't think the store owner was trying to make you feel bad for what you are spending.. Hack my LHS seem to not care how much i spend i think one of the employee even ask what will it be this week... as i have a bad habbit of spending in this hobbie, pick up a Y6A, Challenger, and 2-10-0 one week then went back to grab a baldwin 2-8-0 and a few heavy weight cars the next. I feel that you spend what you can afford for me i can afford to do that.
