Do you buy from LHS's or Online?

LHS may be Credit Valley, Trains no-longer-on-Brant in Burlington, or George's.
George used to have some British, but found dealing with Englishmen frustrating. CV no longer has a British enthusiast on staff (and one Anglophobe). Trains on Brant never had much beyond Thomas.

Thanks, David. Interesting that Credit Valley used to have a Brit on staff. Also interesting the George's found dealing with Englishmen too frustrating! I won't mention names, but I believe there used to be Brit on staff at George's that is now on staff at Hornet Hobbies. He's my main contact at Hornet and is very helpful, especially when it comes to repairing older locos. So, Hornet basically meets my needs to British items locally, otherwise I will order online or from Model Railway Imports, an excellent online retailer of British 00 products.

I still enjoy popping into George's Trains on my lunch hours -- for me, they're a good source for scenery-related products and North American magazines.

Cheers,
Rob
