I have four, at varying distances. 20 miles away I have a large scale (mainly G) specialist, going there invariably takes ages as you always end up spending hours talking and running their demonstration layout... Then I have another two, 50 miles away in opposite directions - one is good for finding older Hornby models but charges almost full list, the other is superb in most scales (shortage of US HO scale, but good prices on UK OO, G and N scales). Finally, at 60 miles away, there's the only specialist HO scale stockist. They're terrible - have no detail parts, a very strange inventory (I think they order stuff for people then put it on the shelves - I've tried ordering through them and got nowhere). Best of the bunch is probably a little too far away to call Local - around 70-80 miles, so I don't get there all that often, but when I do I usually come away with an interesting selection of items. They have a lot of used models, including some very esoteric and oddball items (Lima O Scale SNCF diesel loco last time I was in, as well as piles of old Hornby-Dublo stations that were eminently restorable). Wish we had a good store closer to here!
