While online shops may save you a buck or two, at a b&m shop you always get to see what you buy. If it isn't to your liking you might still find something else that does. If you don't, your dealer will be more than happy to place a special order for you. Not a shop near you? Let your fingers do the walking and order from the b&m's by phone. Talking to a real honest to goodness human being is still more fun than doing bizz with some stupid machine any day, if you ask me, or even if you don't!
My shop in Germany: www.modellbahnritzer.de Owner, Rainer Knoch, speaks English as well as German. He stocks new, used, and out of production older trains and vehicles. Looking for something? Drop him an email. He might have just the gem you've been looking for.
That is exactly why I posted this, Tom is local, brick and motor and old school. Which, is the way I like things!! Since there is no Citibank Station, no Santa Land at Macy's or the Lionel Layout at Grand Central, this is all we have!
