Hobby Shop Blues

When I lived in Houston, I could visit at least five hobby shops that were <exclusively> model railroading. Roadnames from east to west were available. I even knew the owners of a couple of shops personally. Prices ranged from 10% - 30% below retail, and I could just "put something in the back" until I could pay for it. <br /> <br />Now I live in Amarillo - two hobby shops in which model railroading is perhaps 25% of their business, MSRP on what little stock they have, and everything's AT&SF. Not to blame them, but I never appreciated how good I had it in Houston...
