move about the store. We will most likely pay a little more for
such personal service, but I believe this is going to happen.
So is the demise of the LHS actually good in some ways? In the
long run, I say yes for niche hobbies like model railroading.
By increasing its reach, the savvy LHS will have a much bet-
ter chance of staying in business and providing the goods and
services we want for our hobby. What we as hobbyists need to
do is to step out of our comfort zone and learn to plan for our
modeling needs enough to have the product arrive when we
need it.
The LHS is becoming a click away, more local than ever!
