David has been trying to find shops to carry his product. We've found a few shops that are willing to. Train Masters in Duluth GA, Old Fort Model Trains in Old Fort NC, Antique Barn in Wilson NC, Des Plaines Hobbies in Des Plaines IL, Mike Rose Hobbies in MA, are just a few to carry the product. I'm assuming the local shop in NC that you speak of that refuses to carry the line would be Little Choo Choo in Spencer. They say their clientele won't pay the prices and that no one is asking for the products. They have a case in their warehouse but have never put it on the shelves. They've marked the prices up to $50/car which is more than buying them direct from Tangent. Just as well, I've quit using them anyway. Gas prices have been too high to make the hour drive up there only to pay higher prices than what I can mail order.
Stepping off my soap box now. Sorry for the rant.
