Are there any dealers who offer good prices on Ross swtiches or do you have to purchase them directly from Ross ?

I normally used Bob Thatcher of AM hobbies but when he got sick I bought directly from Ross. There is not much mark-up so you need to decide for yourself. Either way, the Ross turnouts are very good.
I would buy directly from Ross Custom switches, as there are no real savings going thru a local hobby shop. Ross has the bottom prices, even for DZ Industry products, and you can order DZI stuff directly from the Ross website.

I've been buying direct from Ross for over 10 years. Nice people. One benefit is, you can return or exchange product if your needs change. I've never been disappointed dealing direct.
I recently purchased several Ross switches directly from Cactoctin Mountain Trains and Hobby (http://www.cmtrains.com/productsandservices.html). Great pricing and great people. Don't hesitate to contact them
Thanks
Tony...ABSOLUTELY AGREE...Paul Johnson at Catoctin Mountain Trains is the best to go to for Ross, MTH, Atlas, etc. Terrific guy with fabulous prices and service. Jim

I'll third Paul & Company at Catoctin Mountain Trains. They are my go-to folks and preferred "local" (they are about an hour from me) hobby shop out of the two in my area with the other store only about 20 minutes from me. . Top notch store, top notch people.
Thanks to all for the advice. Since my layout is a combo of Atlas track with Ross switches, are there any dealers you would recommend that support/sell both ? I prefer to buy everything from one place if possible.
