I only have 1 LHS so I can't really say what makes one better than another. However, tell your friend to at least get into HO and N scale stuff. Might even want to add G or 1 gauge for the outdoorsy folk. I see as many people in that section as in the HO and N scale. I would suggest carrying a decent amount of cars (both freight and passenger) as many people have different interests (I like the ACL/SAL/SCL roadname(which is hard to find) and don't buy much else but not many people do that). Also, I would suggest getting some decent building kits in. Also, try to rotate them some to get different kits in. I don't like seeing the same kits that I didn't like last time be there over and over. If I buy all the ones I like, and you dont get more, that means I get them from someone else. He might want to also carry a decent amount of track. Also different manufacturers too. Some people use EZ track, some normal sectional, some like different coded track, so don't just play up to one type. As far as magazines go, if he doesn't want to carry stuff like Model Railroader, that's fine, but I would carry some of the magazines that have a lot of tips in them. Like the how to do benchwork and tracklayout magazines. I hope all this helps. I don't like seeing LHS's go under. By the way, I'm from southeastern PA... where's this shop at?
