Also too, going on what Gary mentioned about supporting your local hobby shop, also consider supporting the rail museums that offer model railroad items as well. I know the WP museum I am a director of in Portola, CA offers models too, so I like to buy from museums, it supports preservation of the real thing. I know our gift shop manager is always eager to order me whatever I need, regardless of whether or not he usually stocks it.
Just a thought.
