The LHS's have closed, partially or largely due to the internet, but where is the source for parts on the net? Most TCA
meets and a lot of open shows have one or more guys set up with racks on tables like the old dime stores, with little
squares of parts. I just ordered a Marx part off a good posted list on the net (not found in a show). Who/where? has
a site with a long list of all the Lionel/(others?) parts that can be ordered with pictures and descriptions, as some of
the show dealers seem to offer (and as seen at a show, which is not going on, or the guy isn't there, when you need a
part)? Sadly, as discussed on here some time ago, the Lionel replacement archbar truck (I think for Civil War cars) is
no longer available...I shoulda stocked up. But for something else....?
