No, No, I'm not talking about filling in a FILTER. I'm talking about browsing... Clicking the links.
How should the products be sorted into their categories...
The best I have seen is M. B. Klein's (modeltrainstuff.com). The website is organized in levels pretty much like you describe in you opening thread: by scale scale, but then by type (rolling stock, locomotives, passenger trains, vehicles, figures, track, accessories, etc., then you get all of what you selected (O Gauge, figures). THEN you can pick from a pull down list of manufacturers (so you get a difference list for, say locos, as opposed to say, figures), and THEN, most useful for browsing, you can ask for the items to be sorted by newest first, oldest first, lowest to highest cost or vice versa. Sounds perfect for browsing.
I agree that Western Depot has a good organization but their search feature is among the weaker ones.
