I live 30 miles from Walthers so if I wanted something I used to pick it up when I had to go into Milwaukee anyway. However in recent years I've about given up on that. I can go in for 5 items listed in their catalog or on line announcements and if they have 2 in stock it is a lucky day. Like so many of our hobby shops, many things are "TOOS", sometimes for months at a time, or forever. It is no wonder that people drop modelrailroading and look for a different hobby. And no doubt other hobbies have similiar problems. If you find dependable suppliers, Hoquat comes to mind, stick with them. Enginehouse Services in Green Bay ,WI has provided me with outstanding service on DCC. There are others.
