It may sound crazy, but I don't subscribe to MR just so I have an excuse to stop at the LHS! Now that I have my layout pretty well established, I may not go but once a month to get something, and that may only be the MR. My problem with my LHS is that the owner poor mouth's about business, but then he only wants to stock the basics- a little track, the Woodland Scenics display, bottom line all plastic freight cars and beginner train sets. Don't get me wrong, I have spent quite a bit of money on track,etc. at his shop but most everything I have bought he had to order for me. Now that I have gotten pretty well established in the hobby, I feel like I can shop online and by catalog and eliminate the middle man. Also, my LHS is pretty much locked into MSRP, which is another deterrent. <br /> <br />I appreciate the fact that I have a LHS that is close by, but if I have to order everything why not do it myself? I guess if it closed I'd have to subscribe to MR.
