We did have one here, I think they're still in business, not sure though. The last time I was there, they seemed to focus on large scale. This after a change of mgt or ownership. A dark, dusty old place, it was. Up till 4-5 years ago, they seemed to be "train people", then they became "money people", stocking mainly items that sold well. Nothing wrong with making a profit, but I need what I need, not what they want to sell. Then there's the "full retail price no matter what" issue, and a 7% tax on everything. Is that any worse than shipping charges? The internet is no panacea, either. For a bottle of paint or a piece of sandpaper, it's not at all convenient. I've had a re-painting project held up for months waiting for decals and paint. I even spent two years with Train Sim in an effort to enjoy railroding with out having to buy stuff constantly. In my case, I can't just keep buying stuff. $30 here, $50 there..jeez. Anyway, I found 3D railroading more satisfying than TrainSim, and much less crash-prone, too. Now I feel damned if I do and damned if I don't. <br /> <br />We had a another train-oriented store a while back that never (it seems) re-stocked. Same stuff for sale for YEARS! At full retail. As the post above implied, he wanted to sit back and make millions, when that didn't happen he went under and blamed the hobbyists for not shopping there! <br /> <br />smyers
