Les,The guy that owns that shop is a very nice guy and more then willing to order anything you want..He sells other items besides train stuff and seems to be doing a brisk business.At 10% off on multiple or large purchases he would see a lot more of my hobby budget...
I dunno but,one would expect a hobby shop owner to be more price competitive in order to draw more customers and to keep the ones he has...
As far as needing supplies..I can order from MBK and have the items within 4 days after I order-the same about of time it takes my LHS..I usually add the items(such as truckscrews,couplers etc) on my mothly order.Yes,I keep a parts inventory-that way I don't need to make a speical trip..
Of course its not mistake proof and I have found myself out of KD springs or couplers....
