Usually, it is less expensive to buy on-line. But, don't forget that you may have to pay postage on top of that good buy you got. So, many times, it doesn't make a lot of difference by the time you write the check. If you have a local hobby shop, you ought to try to give it at least some of your business. The folks who work there can be an invaluable resource for you, and they will be much more willing to help a good customer than some stranger who walks in off the street looking for help with a broken locomotive he bought on-line or at some big chain store.
