Here is an even more interesting thought, "Dan". Learn how to read before commenting on posts. I said Im NOT a MODELER. Bruce sells MODEL TRAINS. Youre saying you want me to buy stuff there even though Ive NEVER HAD A LAYOUT and NEVER WANTED ONE. They DO have a great selection of magazines and books as well as models so I HAVE purchased those so I AM A PAYING CUSTOMER and a FRIEND of the OWNER.

WHERE do you see the word "COMPLAIN" anywhere in my post? I said I was shocked and saddened that this business was closing.

WHEN was the last time YOU were in Bruces Train Shop? Customers here, paying or looking were always made to feel welcome every time they visited. At least they have been every time Ive been there, which is once a week or more. How many times have YOU visited?

FINALLY, I went through my purchase history and totalled them to $345.50 over the years I have been a customer. Not a enormous amount, but how much have YOU spent at Bruces, "Dan"?

Take some reading lessons...
