Ditto. Although Walthers does provide great service, I get most of my stuff from First Place Hobbies at [url]http://www.1stplacehobbies.com/default.asp[/url]. Most things are 20-40 % off retail.<br><br>But there are many places to buy via mail or on the net, some are net only, others have both physical and net locations. Most of the ones that advertise in MR, etc., are reasonably reliable. For engines, Trainworld at [url]http://www.trainworld.com/[/url] is impossible to beat for closeouts.<br><br>So check some of MRs advertisers for the stuff you want. But check shipping charges as well as prices. Today, one may have the best price for a particular item, tomorrow another may.<br><br>And note that some of the places don't actually stock much of anything -- when you order from them, they order (often from Walthers), then re-ship to you, so also see what they say about how soon items will ship. Several sites list it individually for each item, and/or show which ones are in stock.<br>
