Hi Geoff! The Rogue Valley does not yet have a Home Depot, although there is a Lowe's. I miss having Home Depot nearby. There was one two miles from my house in Sacramento and several others in the area.. Not a lot of things for the locos there unless you are building a raised bed track or a portable track, though. They carry different lines than Lowe's. Both carry plants and both will order special things under certain parameters. I used to get alcohol for my one alcohol burner there. When we go to Kauai (resident population about 50,000) there is a nice Home Depot across from the main shopping mall on the island. If we had one here, I might be able to find the neat Stanley boxes to use as transporters for some of my newer/larger locos! They don't carry them at Lowe's. This isn't off-list, Geoff, but it is on topic! Hope this helps! V-M

There is a lot of controversy in the woods up here about a Home Depot being built in the county seat ( pop. about 30,000). It would serve the whole county, population 130,000 to 140,000 This is rural area and resentment to Big Box stores is prevalent. I love men's "candy shops" so frankly I am interested in a Home depot but I am not sure what stand to take. I thought an excellent source of information would be from hobbyists such as your selves. Your input would be a great help, Geoff. _______________________________________________ SSLiveSteam mailing list Send messages: [email protected] Cancel subscription: http://postfix.45mm.com/mailman/listinfo/sslivesteam Rules: http://www.45mm.com/sslivesteam_guide.html Vickie-Marie Ward -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
